FDG-PET/CT as the superior imaging modality for inflammatory bowel disease

Conclusions: We argue global FDG-PET/CT will be the gold standard moving forward for the diagnosis and clinical management of IBD. This molecular imaging technique has demonstrated superiority over purely structural imaging modalities. Therefore, future studies should further explore the role of FDG-PET/CT in IBD, as well as compare results to other imaging modalities.
