Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients who had a small bowel MRI at UCLH between 2005 and September 2010 and have a clinical standard of reference within six weeks of the MRI scan.

Probably not a fit

Patients under 16 years old or those who do not meet the inclusion criteria will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to share anonymized MRI datasets and relevant clinical data related to small bowel diseases, particularly Crohn's disease, to enhance understanding and management of these conditions. The study will collect data from patients who underwent small bowel MRI at University College London Hospital between 2005 and 2010, ensuring that these datasets are linked to clinical standards of reference. By collaborating with partners like the Centre for Medical Image Computing and a European consortium, the study seeks to validate MRI findings against established clinical benchmarks. The goal is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of MRI assessments in clinical practice.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment management for patients with small bowel diseases.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing anonymized data sharing and MRI assessments have shown promise, but this specific approach is relatively novel.
