Diagnostic utility of shear wave elastography shows mesenteric and ileal stiffness in children, indicating its usefulness.

These findings demonstrate that SWE has good diagnostic utility and may serve as a valuable complementary noninvasive tool in the evaluation and clinical monitoring of pediatric CD.
