Background: The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessment of Crohn's disease (CD) is expanding. The aim of this study is to define and provide an external validation of the MRI predictors of active CD, severe CD, and a quantitative Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA). Methods:
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the application of free‐breathing diffusion‐weighted MR imaging (DWI) to the assessment of disease activity in Crohn's disease. ## Materials and Methods Thirty‐one patients with Crohn's disease were investigated using free‐breathing DWI without special patie
