Unveiling the superior diagnostic efficacy of double-balloon endoscopy compared to small intestine dual-energy CT enterography in small bowel Crohn’s disease
DBE or the combined use of DECTE and DBE provides superior diagnostic performance for small bowel CD, particularly in detecting stenosis and ulcers, compared with DECTE alone. DBE can be used to identify long ulcers and non-ileocecal ulcers. Moreover, DBE helps diagnose small bowel CD across different clinical manifestations and assess disease activity in various inflammatory states.
