A member asked:
Ct scan( no contrast) showed mild diverticula. just had colonoscopy and doc said there are no diverticula at all. can ct scan have been wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diverticula: No test or human being is always 100 percent accurate. That said, if diverticula are definitively visualized on CT, then you have diverticula. You can get a second opinion on the CT scan to be certain. If you choose, you could do it via HealthTap consult and upload the images for review.
