Abstract：Crohn's disease(CD)is a chronic,recurrent inflammatory bowel disease that requires long-term monitoring of drug treatment responses.Dual energy CT(DECT)can not only provide morphological features,but also generate different energy spectrum images such as conventional CT images,virtual monoenergetic images(VMI),iodine density maps to provide quantitative features,achieving non-invasive and accurate monitoring.DECT has gradually been applied in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis,activity and severity assessment of CD,and has also played a role in evaluating therapentic effect and predicting prognosis.This article reviews the progress of DECT application in Crohn's disease.
