The picture shows discontinuous areas of acute inflammation (arrows)
superimposed over chronic inflammatory and fibrotic changes in the right colon and distal ileum. Coronal contrast enhanced VIBE is represented in the upper image, coronal PET in the middle image, and fused VIBE/PET in the lower image.
