About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare distension quality and patient experience of water and polyethylene glycol preparation as oral contrast media in Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) in patients with Crohn's disease.

Thus, the main question it aims to answer is:

Is water sufficient to interpret MRE from patients with Crohn's disease?

Researchers will compare the standard protocol (polyethylene glycol) with water as bowel distension agent to see if it is possible to obtain a satisfying global distension of small bowel.

Participants will undergo the same procedures as standard care adding questionnaires and replacing water as the bowel distension agent for the MRE for patient randomized into the experimental group.
