Abstract

Objective: To reveal the MR enterography (MRE) findings that distinguish backwash ileitis (BWI) from terminal ileitis due to Crohn's disease (CD) and to determine the usability of barium studies manifestations (ileocecal valve (ICV) gaping, terminal ileum dilatation) in MRE for the diagnosis of BWI in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients by pointing at the diagnostic performance of these imaging findings.
