Overview
CT
- CT will demonstrate a blind-ending, tubular, round or oval structure in the right lower quadrant or periumbilical region with surrounding inflammation.
- The wall of the diverticulum may show inflammatory changes such as mural thickening and contrast material enhancement.
- Soft-tissue stranding and adjacent fluid collections are also helpful features of diverticulitis.
- Occasionally enteroliths will be present within the inflamed diverticulum.
