Correlation between FCP, MaRIA, and CDEIS. A 27 year-old female with colonic CD experienced abdominal pain of increasing severity. The patient had an elevated FCP level of 436 μg/g, CDEIS of 26 on colonoscopy, and MaRIA score of 15 on MRE, which corresponds with a grade of severe. a. Coronal fat-saturated T2-weighted true fast imaging with steady state precession (TrueFISP) image from MRE shows circumferential wall thickening and edema in the sigmoid colon (arrow). b. Coronal fat-saturated post gadolinium-enhanced volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) image from MRE shows hyperenhancement in the inflamed, thickened sigmoid colon (arrow). c. Colonoscopic image of the sigmoid colon shows active inflammation, as evidenced by mucosal granularity, loss of normal vascular pattern, and ulcerations (arrows)
