First radiographic study that is performed in symptomatic patients with previously diagnosed Crohns disease

What is the first radiographic study that is performed in symptomatic patients with previously diagnosed Crohns disease?

CT is performed first, primarily to exclude an intra-abdominal abscess and to show the cause of separated bowel loops—whether abscess, inflammation, or fibrofatty proliferation. Fat does not creep or proliferate, so “fibrofatty proliferation” is a misnomer. Prominent fat may be related to retraction of fat secondary to inflammation spreading along lymphatic and venous channels.
