Health tap answer stated regular ct better for detecting inflammation & diverticulitis than ct colonography but will this still detect diverticulitis?

Could: But infection from acute diverticulitis must be treated with antibiotics and heal before considering a ct colonography. The colonography requires a full colon bowel prep and usually inflates the colon with air, both things would not be the best for a person with active infection from acute diverticulitis. Colonograohy could be used for non-infected diverticulosis i suppose.

Diverticulitis: Yes a standard ct is the best modality for diagnosis during an acute attack and to classify the stage of disease colonography or colonoscopy can be considered many weeks after the acute attack has resolved.
