Dual Energy Computerized Tomography (DE-CT) in Patients With Crohn's Disease

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of dual energy computerized tomography (DE-CT) in predicting the need for surgery in patients with Crohn's disease and intestinal lesions with obstructive symptoms. Patients with known Crohn's disease which were scheduled to perform abdominal CT for obstructive symptoms preformed it in a dual energy protocol and then followed for an outcome of surgery. DE-CT parameters were then compared between patients who underwent surgery and those who did not.
