Diverticular disease severity score based on CT colonography

Objective We propose a diverticular disease severity score (DDSS) based on CT colonography (CTC) findings. Methods Seventy-nine patients (62 ± 14.5 years) underwent CTC after recovering from an episode of acute diverticulitis. Two independent readers classified each case using a four-point scale (DD...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective We propose a diverticular disease severity score (DDSS) based on CT colonography (CTC) findings. Methods Seventy-nine patients (62 ± 14.5 years) underwent CTC after recovering from an episode of acute diverticulitis. Two independent readers classified each case using a four-point scale (DDSS), based on maximum sigmoid colon wall thickness (MSCWT) and minimum lumen diameter at CTC: 1 = MSCWT
