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: 👇

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

Imaging in fibrostenotic Crohn's Disease - what you need to know (post 1/3) It's hard to reach with endoscopy, biopsy captures a superficial aspect of the lesion and patient symptoms are often non-specific and modifiable by diet - making patient reported outcomes (PRO) difficult to use. #IBD

We've been looking at J-Pouch this week... now for some pictures! On the left is a asymptomatic pouch that was not distended by oral contrast during MRI & the right, a symptomatic pouch which is distended & showing strong contractile behaviour. #IBD

Yesterday we posted about J-pouch - so, why are we talking about this? At #ECCO25, UCL presented a fascinating study on J-pouch motility, revealing that patients with ileo-anal pouches exhibit higher pouch contractility than controls measured using motility MRI.

What happens when someone has their entire colon and rectum removed? 🤔 For those with severe colorectal disease, removing the colon & rectum may be necessary. There are typically 2 options: Ileostomy redirects the ileum to an external stoma, requiring a bag or J-Pouch; an internal reconstruction

FIBROTARGET GAM#3 wrap-up! Interested in what we discussed at the FIBROTARGET General Assembly meeting last week in Milan? Discover our key takeaways in our web article! 📰Read our full wrap-up➡️ loom.ly/VDN6Fx4 📹Watch our highlights video below⬇️

How do we identify and measure fistulasing Crohn's diease? ⭐️ MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring perianal Crohn's disease, but assessing fistula characteristics can be complex.

Buongiorno from the @fibrotarget.bsky.social General Assembly meeting in Milan! It’s been an exciting start to the meeting we’ve already covered advancements in #fibrosis biomarker characterisation, imaging and how to quantify this and began laying the foundation for an upcoming clinical trial!

Spotlight on: CIPO! What is CIPO? Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction is a complex disorder characterised by severe impairment of intestinal motility, resulting in mechanical bowel obstruction without any physical blockage.

What’s better than bowel wall thickness? Bowel wall volume! 👉 Volumetric MRI measurements may be a game-changer for tracking inflammation in pediatric Crohn’s disease. Dr Betul E. Derinkuyu et al compared volumetric vs linear measurements in children with newly diagnosed ileal Crohn’s 🧵⬇️

R&D from China produces exciting, paradigm rattling results and not just in Artificial General Intelligence but also perianal Crohn’s Disease. But beware, some aren’t happy about it. ⬇️

💡 Spotlight on perianal (fistulising) Crohn's on Entrolytics - How do we assess treatment response? One patient Two time points Three ways to assess treatment response Let's take a look on Entrolytics 👇

Entrolytics is the operating system for modern gastroenterology. It's the platform where multimodality data can be uploaded, held securely, analysed and communicated across a range of settings from research, clinical trials and clinical practice. Here's what you may have missed from 2024..... 🧵👇

Post-surgical ileus is very common, it's where the bowel stops working after surgery. This abstract shows that despite the name "ileus" suggesting a lack of movement, an increase in peristaltic activity was found ⬇️ Alex Menys presenting Sa1184: Observing hyperactive colon in post-operative Ileus

Hello from the Motilent team! 👋 It's our end of year review meeting today (...and brunch!)

Below, a patient with moderate #UlcerativeColitis (seen w/endoscopy) showing clear transmural changes & patchy transmural involvement on MRI. It's taken until 2024 for transmural disease to feature in UC clinical trials and it's only due to an push from gastros using intestinal ultrasound👇

We're at #RSNA24 and would LOVE to meet more of the #radsky community whilst we're here! Drop us a comment/DM/email ([email protected]) if you're about!

A chilly start to the day at #RSNA24 in Chicago. Is anyone from #radsky planning to catch the sunrise this morning? Here's a picture a member of our team got on a morning run at #ddw in May 2023 👇

Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction (CIPO): Hugely debilitating but provides important insight into how the gut works. Below we see 'hyper-active' bowel in a fasted CIPO subject. We assumed no motion - The results were surprising!

Use of cross-sectional imaging is growing for the clinical management of strictures in #Crohndisease & in the development of antifibrotic therapies Link ⬇️ to a great paper that gives an overview of quantitative imaging methods in differentiating inflammatory/fibrotic components of strictures

How is that bowel moving? IBS-C, Parkinson's, Opioid use, Stress and many other factors can lead to constipation. We need better tools to phenotype and understand underlying mechanisms. Also good to think about what the #gutmicrobiome is up to in this complex organ... #ibs #gisky

What happens when a new therapy is so effective you create (or discover) a new set of problems? Kaftrio was a game changer for #cysticfibrosis but now GI complications are a huge challenge. MRI's now being used to understand what's going on 🙌

Absorption of oral medications is influenced by the drug & anatomy and physiology of the #GI tract. While we typically evaluate this in healthy adults during #drugdevelopment , it’s vital to recognise many factors might alter the #GItract & its ability to absorb drugs

@beth-fisher.bsky.social had some help finding more of our #GIsky, #gastrosky, #ibd and #motility community on here today 🦋 #dogsofbluesky #officedog

Hi IBD community! 👋

Patient presented with symptomatic external opening. Surgeon could tell from previous MRI's that the tract was quite deep but their main concern going into surgery was how the tract was relating to the urethra. vEUA (⬇️) was used alongside the written surgical report. #IBD #colorectalsurgery #gisky

What do water balloons and the gut have in common? They are both tubes at risk of obstruction! #gisky #medsky #IBD #crohnsdisease

📢 The first ‘full #gut exam’ with MRI links the source of diabetic gastric symptoms to the small bowel - not the stomach! ❗️50% of Diabetics report GI symptoms but it's still a poorly understood aspect of the disease that’s difficult to correctly diagnose and manage. #GISky #MedSky #IBDsky #IBD

More than 20% of the population experience upper #GI symptoms! Often we refer to these as #gastroparesis or #functionaldyspepsia. The stomach plays a crucial role in breaking down food so the intestine can extract essential nutrients. To accomplish this, it needs to perform 3 vital functions...
