Will an ultrasound show diverticulitis or crohn's? had colonoscopy about a year ago and it results were clean. having mid-llq pain & dr ordered u/s.

No diagnostic test: is ever 100%. There are always false negatives and positives. In your case, your doctor was probably looking for kidney stones or infection or a problem with your ovary, not something in the colon. US has better sensitivity in kidney and ovarian problems than in colon problems.
