Summary

Most of the studies evaluating the roles of MRE and WCE conducted in pediatric patients have been retrospective with the main goal of making a diagnosis in patients with suspected IBD. The current study is the first prospective study in children with known IBD assessing the roles of MRE and WCE in identifying disease exacerbation. This study will help to identify if capsule endoscopy is superior or complementary to MRE in the evaluation of suspected disease exacerbation in IBD patients.
