Diverticular disease, X-ray

Diverticular disease, coloured X-ray. This illness is also known as diverticulitis or CDD (colonic diverticular disease). This is a double-contrast X-ray, where the patient has received a barium enema to highlight abnormal structures in the colon. CDD results in sacs (diverticula) that protrude externally from the colon wall, for instance at lower centre. These become inflamed, infected and may even rupture. They are common with age and result in fever, vomiting and pain. Treatment requires antibiotic drugs, more severe cases may require surgery to remove part of the colon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of diverticular disease, also known as diverticulitis or CDD (colonic diverticular disease). The image is a double-contrast X-ray, skillfully highlighting abnormal structures in the colon using a barium enema. Diverticular disease manifests as sacs, called diverticula, that protrude externally from the colon wall. In this particular X-ray, one can observe these bulging sacs prominently at the lower center. Unfortunately, these sacs are prone to inflammation and infection and may even rupture if left untreated. As age advances, individuals become more susceptible to developing this condition. Symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and excruciating pain accompany diverticular disease. Treatment typically involves administering antibiotic drugs; however, severe cases might necessitate surgical intervention to remove affected portions of the colon. The photograph provides invaluable insight into diagnosing this disorder by capturing its distinct features with remarkable clarity. It serves as a powerful visual aid for medical professionals seeking to understand and treat patients suffering from colonic diverticular disease. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this image without any mention of commercial use or specific company affiliations. Their dedication to providing high-quality medical visuals contributes significantly to advancing healthcare knowledge and improving patient care worldwide.
