Figure 7From: Utility of the diffusion-weighted imaging for activity evaluation in Crohn’s disease patients underwent magnetic resonance enterographyThe ROC curve of predicting CD activity. The ROC curve indicated that bowel wall enhancement was the optimal predictor of inflammation (AUROC = 0.87). Besides, DWI hyper-intensity (AUROC = 0.83) and bowel wall thickening (AUROC = 0.80) could also predict active inflammation pretty well. At the same time, the layer differentiation of DWI hyper-intensity and differentiation between the mucosaesubmucosa complex and the muscularis propria presented the perfect diagnostic specificity.Back to article page
