[Follow up of XXXX under therapy with hydro-MRI].

@entity1 @entity30
PURPOSE: Evaluation of typical MRI-findings in @entity1 with @entity30 receiving therapy. Correlation with the course of disease. @entity1 AND METHODS: 81 follow-up MRI-studies in 25 @entity1 conducted within a period of 3 weeks to 4 years were evaluated retrospectively. Therapy consisted in various combinations of antibiotics and immunosuppressive agents and if necessary operation. The findings of the MRI-studies were correlated with clinical data (e.g.operation of @entity30 ) and the subjective perception during therapy. RESULTS: The morphological substrate of @entity30 in the Hydro-MRI images is reliably detected. Especially in a delineation of extraluminal changes MRI is superior to endoscopy and enteroclysis. Independent from clinical symptoms short- and mid-term follow-up showed inflammatory changes of the intestinal wall in all 25 @entity1 . In 24/81 studies there was persistence or even progression of @entity30 in the MRI-studies, although @entity1 were free of symptoms by the time of image acquisition. CONCLUSION: Hydro-MRI is a modality for the evaluation of inflammatory changes in @entity1 with @entity30 . Independent from clinical symptoms persistence of @entity30 is detectable.
