Abbreviated magnetic resonance (MR) enterography for Crohn's disease: is intravenous contrast enhancement always necessary?

If shorter, non-contrast MRE protocols can reliably show Crohn’s activity and strictures, patients could have faster scans with less gadolinium exposure. But if ulceration or penetrating disease is suspected,...
