Abstract
Fibrosis is the aberrant process of connective tissue deposition from abnormal tissue repair in response to sustained tissue injury caused by hypoxia, infection, or physical damage. It can affect almost all organs in the body causing dysfunction and ultimate organ failure. Tissue fibrosis also plays a vital role in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The early and accurate diagnosis of organ fibrosis along with adequate surveillance are helpful to implement early disease-modifying interventions, important to reduce mortality and improve quality of life. While extensive research has already been carried out on the topic, a thorough understanding of how this relationship reveals itself using modern imaging techniques has yet to be established. This work outlines the ways in which fibrosis shows up in abdominal organs and has listed the most relevant imaging technologies employed for its detection. New imaging technologies and developments are discussed along with their promising applications in the early detection of organ fibrosis.

Abstract
Autoimmune gastrointestinal (GI) disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases with non-specific clinical manifestations. These are divided into primary and secondary. A high index of clinical suspicion complemented with endoscopic and radiological imaging may allow early diagnosis. Due to the relatively low incidence of autoimmune disorder, the imaging literature is sparse. In this review, we outline the pathogenesis, classification, and imaging appearances of autoimmune GI disorders.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, and it frequently affects young patients. It can involve any intestinal segment, even though it frequently affects the distal ileum. Up to 80% of patients with CD present with inflammatory behavior, and 5% to 28% develop stricturing disease. Based on the predominant mechanism causing them, strictures can be categorized as inflammatory, fibrotic, or mixed. Determining the relative amounts of inflammation and fibrosis in a stricture can influence treatment decisions. Imaging is an extremely useful tool in patients with small bowel stricturing CD to confirm the diagnosis and to evaluate disease characteristics, usually using CT or MRI. The aim of this paper is to describe how imaging can evaluate a patient with small bowel CD stricture.

MRI texture analysis of T2-weighted images is preferred over magnetization transfer imaging for readily longitudinal quantification of gut fibrosis. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:5943-5952. [PMID: 37071162 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09624-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the value of magnetization transfer (MT) MRI and texture analysis (TA) of T2-weighted MR images (T2WI) in the assessment of intestinal fibrosis in a mouse model. METHODS Chronic colitis was induced in mice by cyclic administration of dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) resulting in chronic inflammation and progressive bowel fibrosis. Mice underwent 7-T MR imaging at various time points. Bowel wall MT ratio (MTR) and textural features (skewness, kurtosis, entropy), extracted by a filtration histogram technique, were correlated with histopathology. Performance of both techniques were validated using antifibrotic therapy. Finally, a retrospective study was conducted in five patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who underwent bowel surgery. RESULTS MTR and texture entropy correlated with histopathological fibrosis (r = .85 and .81, respectively). Entropy was superior to MTR for monitoring bowel fibrosis in the presence of coexisting inflammation (linear regression R2 = .93 versus R2 = .01). Furthermore, texture entropy was able to assess antifibrotic therapy response (placebo mice versus treated mice at endpoint scan; Δmean = 0.128, p < .0001). An increase in entropy was indicative of fibrosis accumulation in human CD strictures (inflammation: 1.29; mixed strictures: 1.4 and 1.48; fibrosis: 1.73 and 1.9). CONCLUSION MT imaging and TA of T2WI can both noninvasively detect established intestinal fibrosis in a mouse model. However, TA is especially useful for the longitudinal quantification of fibrosis in mixed inflammatory-fibrotic tissue, as well as for antifibrotic treatment response evaluation. This accessible post-processing technique merits further validation as the benefits for clinical practice as well as antifibrotic trial design would be numerous. KEY POINTS • Magnetization transfer MRI and texture analysis of T2-weighted MR images can detect established bowel fibrosis in an animal model of gut fibrosis. • Texture entropy is able to identify and monitor bowel fibrosis progression in an inflammatory context and can assess the response to antifibrotic treatment. • A proof-of-concept study in five patients with Crohn's disease suggests that texture entropy can detect and grade fibrosis in human intestinal strictures.

Abstract
In this review, we will describe the importance of fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by discussing its distinct impact on Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) through their translation to histopathology. We will address the existing knowledge on the correlation between inflammation and fibrosis and the still not fully explained inflammation-independent fibrogenesis. Finally, we will compile and discuss the recent advances in the noninvasive assessment of intestinal fibrosis, including imaging and biomarkers. Based on the available data, none of the available cross-sectional imaging (CSI) techniques has proved to be capable of measuring CD fibrosis accurately, with MRE showing the most promising performance along with elastography. Very recent research with radiomics showed encouraging results, but further validation with reliable radiomic biomarkers is warranted. Despite the interesting results with micro-RNAs, further advances on the topic of fibrosis biomarkers depend on the development of robust clinical trials based on solid and validated endpoints. We conclude that it seems very likely that radiomics and AI will participate in the future non-invasive fibrosis assessment by CSI techniques in IBD. However, as of today, surgical pathology remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and quantification of intestinal fibrosis in IBD.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic and relapsing-remitting inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 70% of patients inevitably develop fibrosis-associated intestinal stricture after 10 years of CD diagnosis, which seriously affects their quality of life. Current therapies play limited role in preventing or reversing the process of fibrosis and no specific anti-fibrotic therapy is yet available. Nearly half of patients thus have no alternative but to receive surgery. The potential mechanisms of intestinal fibrosis remain poorly understood; extracellular matrix remodeling, aberrant immune response, intestinal microbiome imbalance and creeping fat might exert fundamental influences on the multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes. Recently, the emerging new diagnostic techniques have markedly promoted an accurate assessment of intestinal stricture by distinguishing fibrosis from inflammation, which is crucial for guiding treatment and predicting prognosis. In this review, we concisely summarized the key studies published in the year 2020 covering pathogenesis, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic strategy of intestinal stricture. A comprehensive and timely review of the updated researches in intestinal stricture could provide insight to further elucidate its pathogenesis and identify novel drug targets with anti-fibrotic potentiality.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent advances in computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear radiology have improved the diagnosis and characterization of small bowel pathology. Our purpose is to highlight the current status and recent advances in multimodality noninvasive imaging of the small bowel. RECENT FINDINGS CT and MR enterography are established techniques for small bowel evaluation. Dual-energy CT is a novel technique that has shown promise for the mesenteric ischemia and small bowel bleeding. Advanced US techniques and MRI sequences are being investigated to improve assessment of bowel inflammation, treatment response assessment, motility, and mural fibrosis. Novel radiotracers and scanner technologies have made molecular imaging the new reference standard for small bowel neuroendocrine tumors. Computational image analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to augment physician expertise, reduce errors and variability in assessment of the small bowel on imaging. SUMMARY Advances in translational imaging research coupled with progress in imaging technology have led to a wider adoption of cross-sectional imaging for the evaluation and management of small bowel entities. Ongoing developments in image acquisition and postprocessing techniques, molecular imaging and AI have the strongest potential to transform the care and outcomes of patients with small bowel diseases.

[PMID: 33302890 PMCID: PMC7731574 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-020-01574-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric Crohn's disease is characterized by a higher incidence of complicated phenotypes. Murine models help to better understand the dynamic process of intestinal fibrosis and test therapeutic interventions. Pre-pubertal models are lacking. We aimed to adapt a model of chronic colitis to pre-pubertal rats and test if a polymeric diet rich in TGF-β2 could reduce TNBS-induced intestinal inflammation and fibrosis. METHODS Colitis was induced in 20 five-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats by weekly rectal injections of increasing doses of TNBS (90 mg/kg, 140 mg/kg and 180 mg/kg) for 3 weeks, while 10 controls received phosphate-buffered saline. Rats were anesthetized using ketamine and chlorpromazine. After first administration of TNBS, 10 rats were fed exclusively MODULEN IBD® powder, while remaining rats were fed breeding chow. Colitis was assessed one week after last dose of TNBS by histopathology and magnetic resonance colonography (MRC). RESULTS Histological inflammation and fibrosis scores were higher in TNBS group than controls (p < 0.05 for both). MRC showed increased colon wall thickness in TNBS group compared to controls (p < 0.01), and increased prevalence of strictures and target sign (p < 0.05). Colon expression of COL1A1, CTGF, α-SMA and COX-2 did not differ between TNBS rats and controls. TNBS colitis was not associated with growth failure. Treatment with MODULEN IBD® was associated with growth failure, increased colon weight/length ratio (p < 0.01), but did not affect histological scores or MRI characteristics. Colon expression of α-SMA was significantly lower in the MODULEN group versus controls (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Features of chronic colitis were confirmed in this model, based on MRC and histopathology. Treatment with MODULEN did not reverse inflammation or fibrosis.
