ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving how we assess small bowel diseases, particularly Crohn's disease, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Crohn's disease can cause various issues in the bowel, and MRI is a safe and effective way to examine these problems without using radiation. Currently, radiologists have to manually measure important features on the MRI scans, which can be time-consuming and challenging. This trial aims to develop a computer program that can quickly and accurately analyze MRI images, helping doctors make better decisions for patient care.

To create this software, the researchers are looking for participants who had a small bowel MRI at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) between 2005 and September 2010. Eligible participants include those with a normal MRI result and no signs of bowel disease based on other tests. Those who are younger than 16 or do not meet the criteria will not be included. If you or a family member qualifies, participating in this study could help advance medical technology and improve the diagnosis and treatment of small bowel diseases in the future.
