Abstract

Advanced multidetector computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging techniques (CT and MR enterography, respectively), designed to provide detailed images of the bowel and mesentery, can be successfully performed in children of allages, frequently without sedation. Cross-sectional enterography allows for noninvasive diagnosis, detection of various disease-related complications and extraintestinal manifestations, and monitoring of bowel-wall inflammation in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This article provides a contemporary review of CT and MR enterography in the pediatric population, including up-to-date techniques and clinical applications. A range of bowel abnormalities is illustrated, with an emphasis on IBD and its many abdominopelvic manifestations.
