Summary
This study is testing a new type of PET/MR scan that uses a special tracer to see scar tissue in the gut of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to better tell apart scarred (fibrotic) narrowings from inflamed ones before surgery. About 25 adults with Crohn's who are already scheduled for possible surgery will get the scan. If successful, this could help doctors decide which patients truly need surgery and which might benefit from other treatments.
