Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a kind of chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Traditional imaging is difficult for early detection of mucosal lesions and is not conducive to early treatment. Colonoscopy is a kind of invasive procedure, and its clinical use is therefore limited. Molecular imaging provides a new approach for early diagnosis of IBD. In this paper, we review recent advances in molecular imaging of IBD.
