In this regard, both endoscopy and imaging are becoming central tools in CD to detect such inflammation [13,14]. They are complementary in nature with differing advantages [9]. Colonoscopy with ileal intubation allows direct visualization of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and the possibility of biopsy. Cross- sectional imaging, such as CT enterography or MR enterography, allows evaluation of disease proximal to the ileum beyond the reach of the colonoscope as well as detection of transmural disease with overlying normal mucosa that may be not apparent at direct optical inspection. aPanel Chair, University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics, Madison, Wisconsin. bNewton-Wellesley Hospital, Newton, Massachusetts. cPanel Vice-Chair, University of California San Diego, San Diego, California. dUniversity of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and McGovern Medical School, Houston, Texas; American Gastroenterological Association. eVirginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, Roanoke, Virginia. fMassachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. gMedstar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia. hCleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio. iCleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio; American College of Emergency Physicians. jDuke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina. kEmory University, Atlanta, Georgia. lPenn State Health, Hershey, Pennsylvania. mUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama. nJohns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Baltimore, Maryland. oUniversity of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California. pSpecialty Chair, Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Richmond, Virginia.
