A member asked:
Is ct scan accurate for the diagnosis of diverticulosis (not diverticulitis) or colonoscopy is the test of choice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diverticulosis is usually asymptomatic so it is diagnosed as a finding when tests are done for other reasons like screening for colon cancer. CT scan is the test of choice for diverticulosis.
