    Endoscopic evaluation is the gold standard for assessing Crohn's disease but is invasive and limited in scope.

  • 2

    Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can assess disease activity and treatment response in Crohn's disease.

  • 3

    Volumetric measurement of disease burden in Crohn's disease may provide a more responsive imaging biomarker than traditional 2D assessments.

  • 4

    The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of volumetric measurement of terminal ileal Crohn's disease using MRE and its correlation with disease activity.

  • 5

    Technical feasibility and inter-observer agreement for volumetric assessment were assessed, highlighting the potential for improved evaluation of Crohn's disease.
