By and large, 19(63.3%) patients were guys, while 11(36.7%) were females. The mean age of the patients was 33.6±19.2 years (go: 24-67 years). Plus, 22(73.3%) patients had dynamic disease with intestinal side effects, including stomach torment, loose bowels and haemafaecia. Notwithstanding, 8(26.6%) haemafaecia patients showed no extra clinical manifestations. The CTE and MRE imaging results showed no huge contrast in determination (p>0.05), with a precision of 80% for CTE. Conclusion: It is concluded that CTE can be valuable in diagnosing small intestinal diseases. However, both procedures have advantages and disadvantages.
