If it is believed that an individual may have diverticular an enema (thin tube passed through the rectum) may be implemented to view the wall of the colon. The double contrast enema is more accurate than a single contrast enema. An enema is not used if there is any possibility of diverticulitis (inflamed diverticula) as this may increase the risk of perforation of the diverticula.
