Could a 10-Minute MRI replace the long scan for Crohn's patients?

NCT ID NCT06533228

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether a shorter, abbreviated MRI scan (called MRE) works just as well as the standard, longer scan for detecting inflammation and damage in the bowel of people with Crohn's disease. Researchers will enroll 300 children and adults who already need an MRE as part of their care. Participants will get both scans and answer a survey about their experience. The goal is to see if the faster scan can save time and improve comfort without missing important findings.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make MRI scans for Crohn's disease faster and more comfortable for patients, while still being accurate enough to detect inflammation and complications.

What could go wrong

This is a diagnostic comparison study, not a treatment trial. The abbreviated scan may not be as accurate as the standard one, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.
