A member asked:

Hadct scan of abdo specifically kidneys w/contrast iv &kind you drink(although tech said didn't need drink for kidney scan)would this show diverticuli?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait a minute: A ct scan of the abdomen may not visualize all of the colon (by it's very nature), but a ct abdomen and pelvis would. Enteric (oral) contrast will help highlight diverticuli but even that is not essential on modern ct scanners.
