Abstract

Abstract Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold-standard for evaluating Crohn’s perianal fistulas. Multiple scoring indices to grade radiologic disease activity severity have been established, with limited comparative data and a lack of consensus regarding which index correlates most accurately with clinical findings. In a prospective MRI series, we explored the relationship between established radiologic indices and clinical healing. Methods Serial MRI scans from 60 adults with Crohn’s perianal fistulas enrolled in a prospective study were acquired. The pr..
