Prediction of the Need for Surgical Intervention in Obstructive Crohn's Disease by 18F-FDG PET/CT
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 10/27/09

Jacene HA et al. – Patients with CD who undergo surgery for obstructive symptoms have histopathologically mixed findings of inflammation, fibrosis, and muscle hypertrophy. Qualitative PET interpretations were quite sensitive, but additional semiquantitative analyses using SULmax helped identify patients with active inflammation. This information may be beneficial for referring gastroenterologists considering medical therapy versus surgery for patients with CD who present with obstructive symptoms.
