Using GIQuant and cine-MRI may support earlier identification of strictures unlikely to respond to medical therapy potentially streamlining decision-making around surgery, dilation, or emerging anti-fibrotic trials.

Excellent work K.J. Beek et al!

This suggests that quantified pre-stricture motility measured via cine-MRI could serve as a non-invasive imaging biomarker to help distinguish stricture subtypes. This could be valuable in fibrostenotic Crohn’s, where differentiating between fibrosis & inflammation is often invasive & ambiguous.

Key findings:
Motility in pre-stricture dilatations was significantly higher in chronic vs. inflammatory strictures (289.5AU vs. 113.1AU, p=0.004). Notably, no significant difference was seen within the strictures themselves.

👉 Cine or motility MRI was performed prior to stricture surgery
👉 Motility of 30 strictures and 15 pre-stricture dilatations was quantified using GIQuant
👉 Resection specimens were scored histologically as predominantly inflammatory, mixed, or chronic (non-inflammatory)

Advances in fibrostenotic Crohn’s Disease - what information is hidden up-stream of the stricture out of reach of the endoscope ?

A recent prospective study involving 28 Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients explored the potential of cine-MRI to non-invasively characterise stricture subtypes:

Practically, overlooking the range of motion that a stricture and dilation is capable of with a limited number of anatomical snap-shots can lead us to underestimating or even missing the disease.

All strictures are created different and remember...
👉Strictures aren't always structural

Motilent @motilent.bsky.social · Apr 14

Bowel peristalsis becomes abnormal both at the stricture and in the upstream at the dilation which can reflect chronicity, reversibility and even explanation of symptoms.

Imaging in fibrostenotic Crohn's Disease - What you need to think about (post 3/3)

What many people don't realise is that FSCD has a large functional component that makes sense conceptually but is not often talked about (beyond pain!).

Imaging in fibrostenotic Crohn's Disease - what you need to do (post 2/3)

Motilent have been working with precision imaging for a long time now. Here's how we tackle fibrostenotic Crohn's disease.

1. Use the right tools
2. Capture with an integrated report
3. Keep all your data in 1 place
