After all, alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram (almost as much as fat, which contains 9 calories per gram). Those calories can add up after a few bottles, with about 150 calories in your typical, 12-ounce serving of 5 percent-alcohol beer. Bamforth argues that we shouldn't blame big bellies on beer.
Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) is a noninvasive imaging test that can evaluate gastrointestinal issues including Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Currently, computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) are the only 2 imaging modalities that can visualize submucosal tissues throughout the small bowel. CT generally is highly utilized, but there is growing concern over ionizing radiation and cancer risk. In contrast to CTE, MRE does not expose patients to ionizing radiation, and it can differentiate between inflammation and fibrosis as the cause of submucosal inflammation (Table 1).
