Computerized Tomography - Diverticular disease can be diagnosed Part 4

Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan is less invasive than the aforementioned as it does not required a tube to be passed through the rectum. Instead a scan is used to produce a 3D image on a computer screen in which the bowel can be viewed. If possible, Ct scans are used where possible due to the high degree of accuracy in diagnosing diverticula disease and identifying the development of abscesses.
