No clinical history saved on this one - sorry.

[Right] Small bowel follow-through (SBFT), where the patient drinks barium, and then we wait a bit until that barium is in the small bowel, then we take some pictures. This study is showing a long segment of terminal ileum that is strictured and severely narrowed in fibrostenotic Crohn's (red bracket). This is called the "string sign."

[Left] Coronal CT performed sometime after the SBFT. You can still see some residual barium in the small and large bowels (blue arrows). Red bracket shows the CT appearance of the terminal ileum stricture. On the CT, you can also see that the strictured segment has submucosal fat deposition, the "fat halo sign."
