Crohn's disease imaging study with PET-MRI
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at inflammation and blood flow in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. It may help doctors better understand disease activity in the gut.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have symptoms that make your doctor strongly suspect Crohn's disease in the small bowel.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other metal implant.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had a capsule endoscopy capsule get stuck in your gut before.
- You have not had X-rays this past year (unless approved).

This study is testing a new imaging method that uses a special PET/MR scan to see how active Crohn's disease is in your bowel. The scan uses a harmless radioactive tracer that attaches to scar tissue, which may help doctors better understand the disease and guide treatment.
This study uses a special imaging tracer (FAPI) to find scar tissue in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand which parts of the intestine are scarred, which may guide treatment decisions.
This study checks whether adding an extra, cross-body “transmural” evaluation (looking at inflammation throughout the bowel) improves care for adults with Crohn’s who are starting or receiving biologic (biotherapy) treatment. It uses close follow-up with stool calprotectin (a marker of gut inflammation) to see if this approach helps control inflammation.
This study looks at how Crohn’s disease healing shows up on a special MRI (MRE) and tries to better define what “healed” means. It may help your care team track healing more accurately, especially inside the bowel.
This study looks at how Crohn’s disease affects bones and bone marrow soon after diagnosis. It may help researchers understand disease effects and improve future care, either by comparing you to healthy controls or by tracking changes over time.
This trial compares two types of scans—MRI and ultrasound—to see how well they detect changes in Crohn's disease after treatment. If you've had one of these scans already and need another to check your response to therapy, you may be able to join.
