Description
The concern for diverticulitis often leads to the use of computed tomography (CT) scans for diagnosis. We aim to develop an ultrasound-based clinical decision rule (CDR) to confidently rule-out the disease without requiring a CT scan. We analyzed data from a prospective study of adult emergency department (ED) patients with suspected diverticulitis who underwent both bedside ultrasound (US) and CT.
