Making computed tomography safer for patients with Crohn's disease

Conclusion: Low-dose IR CT is safe and accurate for evaluating distribution and complications of known Crohn's disease in the outpatient setting. We propose that low-dose radiation imaging should be adopted as standard-of-care for the evaluation of Crohn's disease and an acceptable alternative to MR particularly in the acute setting.
