Crohn disease: CT findings after treatment

Abdom Imaging. 1997 Mar-Apr;22(2):160-3. doi: 10.1007/s002619900162.

Abstract

Within a period of 5 years, we followed by computed tomography (CT) three patients with Crohn disease who were undergoing treatment. From the spectrum of disease abnormalities, some subsided and others remained. Bowel wall thickening was the most common pretreatment CT finding but was somewhat altered after treatment.
