A member asked:
If i have an ultra sound on my sigmoid colon where i get my pain will it reveal diverticula pouches if they are there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible,: but ultrasound is not very sensitiveness for this indication, so a negative study would not prove that you don't have diverticula.
