MR Enterography in paediatric patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
Objectives To evaluate the performance of Magnetic Resonance enterography (MRE) in the diagnostic work-up of children presenting with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Materials and methods From January 2014 to January 2016, a single-centre prospective study was performed on all children between 0 and 16 years of age referred to the radiology department for OGIB. Each child underwent MRE examination after negative oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and ileocolonoscopy. MRE results were recorded. All patients proceeded to the related gold standard for diagnostic confirmation.
