Abdominal x-ray showed colon thickening. Colonoscopy came back fine. No diverticulitis, etc. Could the X-ray have been wrong or what could have been seen on x-ray that colonoscopy missed? This was x-ray and not a CT. GI did not appear concerned?

I know the downside of CT or MRI is no biopsies but I don't want traditional colonoscopy. I don't want sedation it freaks me out. I'm just curious if i ever end up needing some type of colon test is an MRI enterography as accurate as colonoscopy?

No diverticula found on colonoscopy. GI says could still be present on outside of colon and only seen on CT. May be source of LLQ pain. Is this right?
