A member asked:
Had a ct scan( no contrast) that showed mild diverticulosis. however, had colonoscopy and doctor said no divertocula seen at all! which is right?

Diverticulosis : Colonoscopy results are dependent on how clean your colon is and how good the doctor is. Sometimes when the colon is not clean the request is to repeat the test. Your CT demonstrated the diverticulosis that was not seen during the time of the colonoscopy.
