Crohn´s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Endoscopic methodsare the gold standard for assessing the severity and extent of diseaseinvolvement. Their main disadvantage is the invasive nature of theexamination. Therefore, non-invasive radiological methods such as magneticresonance imaging and ultrasonography are used as part of regular followup.Their another advantage over colonoscopy is a higher yield in the evaluationof disease complications and other comorbidities. The disadvantage of imagingmethods is a certain degree of subjectivity burdening the evaluation and, ofcourse, the need for experience. Currently, there are a number of MR scoringsystems that aim to provide the most objective assessment of bowelinvolvement. The yield of these systems has been demonstrated in a number ofstudies, and although they are not currently used in clinical practice, theycould become a useful tool in the future when the findings are unclear or whenassessing the effect of treatment.
