To assess dark-lumen magnetic resonance colonography (MRC) for the evaluation of @entity1 with suspected @entity4436 . Forty @entity1 with suspected @entity4436 underwent MRC within 72 h prior to @entity7617 ( @entity7617 ). A three-dimensional T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination sequence was acquired after an aqueous enema and intravenous administration of @entity2287 -based contrast agents. All MRC data were evaluated by two radiologists. Based on wall thickness and focal uptake of contrast material and pericolic reaction including mesenteric infiltration on T1-weighted sequence the sigmoid colon was assessed for the presence of @entity4436 . MRC classified 17 of the 40 @entity1 as normal with regard to @entity4436 . However, @entity7617 confirmed the presence of light inflammatory signs in four @entity1 which were missed in MRC. MRC correctly identified wall thickness and contrast uptake of the sigmoid colon in the other 23 @entity1 . In three of these @entity1 false-positive findings were observed, and MRC classified the inflammation of the sigmoid colon as @entity4436 whereas @entity7617 and histopathology confirmed @entity189 . MRC detected additionally relevant pathologies of the entire colon and could be performed in cases where @entity7617 was incomplete. MRC may be considered a promising alternative to @entity7617 for the detection of @entity4436 .
