OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to illustrate and describe the characteristic MR enterography findings in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to present MR enterography as the first-choice imaging modality in this setting. CONCLUSION: Given its high sensitivity and specificity for IBD and lack of ionizing radiation, MR enterography is a valuable technique for examining children with IBD.
