Aim
With this predominantly pictorial based overview,
we aim to enlighten the reader about the different features of disease activity of Crohn's disease.
The review focuses on small bowel Crohn's disease,
as assessment of colonic disease is mostly endoscopic.
We will briefly discuss the importance of accurate assessment of disease activity in Crohn’s disease and the increasingly important role MRI plays in this assessment.

With this poster we aim to:
- highlight what the clinician needs and wants to know from our Crohn's disease MRI reports.
- enable the reader to perform an assessment of disease activity by using key MRI signs of active and inactive disease.
