Diagnostic value of noninvasive combined fluorine-18 labeled fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography enterography in active Crohn's disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, 11/04/09

Polyak S et al. – PET scanning added to CTe did not identify additional abnormal segments when compared to CTe alone. Abnormal segments with mucosal enhancement on CTe that did not accumulate FDG were significantly associated with failure of medical therapy. A larger trial is warranted to confirm if combined lPET–CTe has an important role in the clinical management of stricturing Crohn's disease.
