Validation of the pre-pubertal chronic colitis model: MRI-colonography. a Colon wall thickening: maximum thickness by group (**p < 0.01 vs. controls, 2-tailed). Control group: n = 7, TNBS group: n = 5, TNBS+Modulen group: n = 8. b MRI axial plane T2w image of the descending colon, TNBS group. The arrow indicates a Target sign. c MRI T2w image of the descending colon, TNBS+MODULEN group. The arrow indicates irregularities of the colon wall suggestive of an ulcer, with increased T2w signal intensity. d MRI image of the descending colon, TNBS group. The arrow indicates colon stenosis, without T2w hypersignal, which could suggest a fibrotic stricture
