Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Accurate evaluation of bowel fibrosis in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) remains challenging. Computed tomography enterography (CTE)-based radiomics enables the assessment of bowel fibrosis; however, it has some deficiencies. We aimed to develop and validate a CTE-based deep learning model (DLM) for characterizing bowel fibrosis more efficiently.
