Much of the time: All structures from diaphragm to groin will be visualized by a contrast ct scan. Consuming oral contrast distinguishes gut from surrounding structures; IV contrast better delineates solid organs. Even blood flow, neurologic impingement, hernias, etc. Are made apparent by ct, typically to a resolution of about 5mm.

Most likely: there would be visible changes on the CT scan unless the colitis is very mild. With severe colitis, the CT will invariably be abnormal.
