Abstract
Computed tomography is the most accurate and readily available imaging study in the diagnosis of acute, left-sided diverticulitis. It not only detects the presence of an abscess and guides percutaneous drainage of these abscesses, it may also guide subsequent surgical treatment based upon a modification of the Hinchey classification.Entities:
