Summary
This study is testing a special PET/MR scan that uses a radioactive tracer to detect scar tissue in the gut of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if the scan can accurately tell the difference between scarred (fibrotic) and inflamed strictures, which could help doctors decide who needs surgery and who doesn't. About 25 adults with Crohn's disease who are already scheduled for possible surgery will get the scan before their procedure, and the results will be compared to what surgeons and pathologists find.
