A member asked:
If someone cant have contrast dye or invasive tests. what imaging can show acute diverticulitis attack? ct without contrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT/MRI no contrast: You can have a CT or MRI without contrast, both can show diverticulitis, and MRI if it can be done expeditiously will not expose you to radiation, I hope this helps
