Key Points

To review and describe computed tomography (CT) imaging characteristics that differentiate ulcerative colitis from Crohn's disease.
Radiological evaluation and review of abdominopelvic CT manifestations in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
CT imaging demonstrates characteristic differences between conditions, such as continuous mucosal disease with symmetrical wall thickening in ulcerative colitis versus transmural involvement, skip lesions, and mesenteric abnormalities in Crohn's disease.
Cross-sectional imaging qualitatively identifies secondary complications, including strictures, fistulas, and abscess formation.
