Currently, computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) are the only 2 imaging modalities that can visualize submucosal tissues throughout the small bowel. CT generally is highly utilized, but there is growing concern over ionizing radiation and cancer risk. In contrast to CTE, MRE does not expose patients to ionizing radiation, and it can differentiate between inflammation and fibrosis as the cause of submucosal inflammation (Table 1).
