Transmural inflammation, a distinguishing feature of Crohn's disease (CD), cannot be assessed by conventional colonoscopy with mucosal biopsy. Our previous ex vivo study of histology-correlated optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging on colectomy specimens of CD and ulcerative colitis (UC) showed that disruption of the layered structure of colon wall on OCT is an accurate marker for transmural inflammation of CD. We performed an in vivo colonoscopic OCT in patients with a clinical diagnosis of CD or UC using the previously established, histology-correlated OCT imaging criterion.
