Overview
On abdominal ultrasonography, diverticulitis is characterized by abscess formation, gas bubbles, the presence of diverticula, and thickening of the colon segments. Extradiverticular exudates and fluids can be also observed.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonography in diverticulitis patients shows the following:[1][2]
- Abscess formation and gas bubbles may appear
- Presence of diverticula
- Inflammatory reaction within the diverticulum
- Thickening of the colon segments
- Extradiverticular exudates and fluids
