  • Title: [Diverticular disease of the colon].
    Author: Fuchs HF.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1983 Dec; 23(12):545-50. PubMed ID: 6422502.
    Abstract:
    The great significance of diverticular disease, clinical symptoms, and pathologic-anatomical changes are demonstrated. In our opinion the diagnostic possibilities of a carefully performed hypotonic enema with double contrast are not yet fully used; mostly the patients have to suffer from an endoscopic investigation of the colon. Radiologic double-contrast examination is the method of choice, resulting in reliable and clear pictures of the extent of diverticulosis and in most cases also of its complications. Some typical examples are given to point out radiological criteria of the diverticular disease.
