Core Tip Dual-energy computed tomography with multi-material decomposition allows objective quantification of creeping fat in Crohn’s disease. This radiologic marker correlates with clinical, endoscopic, histologic, and molecular indices of disease activity and may help assess transmural and mesenteric disease beyond mucosal healing.
