Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Ultrasound Microbubble Contrast Agent
All subjects will receive intravenous Lumason microbubble contrast agent; there is no comparative ultrasound contrast agent. Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound findings/results will be correlated with comparable, clinically performed, CTE/MRE findings/results
Ultrasound Microbubble Contrast Agent
Patients undergoing a clinically ordered CT or MRI Enterography for Crohn disease will be recruited to undergo a contrast enhanced ultrasound study of the bowel
Ultrasound Imaging
Patients undergoing a clinically ordered CT or MRI Enterography for Crohn disease will be recruited to undergo a contrast enhanced ultrasound study of the bowel

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Between ages 10 and 18 years.
* Undergoing clinically-indicated CTE or MRE with evidence of active disease based on pediatric gastroenterologist clinical assessment
Exclusion Criteria
* Pregnancy or breast feeding. Urine pregnancy testing will be performed on all female study participants of reproductive potential.
* Obesity/body habitus preventing visualization of small bowel affected by Crohn's disease by ultrasound (Body mass index ≥30 kg/m2
* Subject inability/unwillingness to consent or child assent, including severe developmental delay/mental retardation.
