During such an examination, the colon is also seen within the field of study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of MRE in detecting characteristics of active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the colon, in comparison to different features seen in colonoscopies. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with 41 children. Features of active inflammation we considered were wall thickening; contrast enhancement; incorrect signal in the DWI sequence in the MRE; and presence of ulceration, erosion, erythema, spontaneous bleeding and a decrease of the vascular pattern seen in colonoscopy. The colon was divided into six segments: caecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid and rectum. Results: The sensitivity of MRE was, on average, 50\u201375%, and as high as 92\u2013100%, depending on the segment. The most important feature for which there was the most dependencies was ulceration. In the analysis of intestinal wall thickness, the AUC value &gt;0.8 was detected as ulceration (segments: cecum, ascending, descending colon, sigmoid), spontaneous bleeding (ascending colon and sigmoid) and decreased vascular pattern (ascending, transverse, descending colon). Conclusions: Evaluation of qualitative structural changes in MRE distinguishes patients with inflammation in colonoscopy from patients without lesions, with high diagnostic accuracy, albeit higher specificity than sensitivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10194336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,24]],"date-time":"2021-09-24T00:30:33Z","timestamp":1632443433000},"page":"4336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Usefulness of Colon Assessment by Magnetic Resonance Enterography in Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease\u2014Retrospective Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1381-0742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Sieczkowska-Golub","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Feeding Disorders and Pediatrics, The Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beata","family":"Marcinska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, The Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Dadalski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Feeding Disorders and Pediatrics, The Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3977-7541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorota","family":"Jarzebicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Feeding Disorders and Pediatrics, The Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elzbieta","family":"Jurkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, The Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2272-1581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaroslaw","family":"Kierkus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Feeding Disorders and Pediatrics, The Children\u2019s Memorial Health Institute, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"795","DOI":"10.1097\/MPG.0000000000000239","article-title":"ESPGHAN Revised Porto Criteria for the Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children and Adolescents","volume":"58","author":"Levine","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
