  1. (1) n is the number of the involved bowel segments; (2) divided into active group (CDAI ≥ 150) and inactive group (CDAI < 150); (3) Meanings of abbreviations: BWT (Bowel wall thickness), BWS (Bowel wall stratification), BWP (Bowel wall perforation), D (intestinal lumen diameter), MFT (Mesenteric fat thickness), PS (bowel peristalsis), LN (lymph nodes enlargements), LG (Limberg grade of the bowel wall vascularization), SWV (shear wave velocity), SE (presence of the stratified enhancement of the bowel), TE (existence of the homogeneous enhancement of the bowel wall), HET (heterogeneous), HOM (homogeneous), PR (presence),AB (absence).
