The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review the diverticulitis other than colon diverticulitis. 2. To discuss the CT-based modified Hinchey classification which can provide the surgical indications of colonic diverticulitis. 3. To illustrate the various complications of diverticulitis 4. To demonstrate mimics of acute diverticulitis during CT interpretation  

1. Colon diverticulitis - Pathophysiology - CT imaging findings 2. Diverticulitis other than colon - Small bowel diverticulitis - Meckel’s diverticulitis - Appendiceal diverticulitis 3. The role of CT in predicting the need for surgery - Modified Hinchey classification with corresponding CT findings 4. Major complications of diverticulitis - Abscess - Fistula - Perforation - Hemorrhage - Bowel obstruction 5. Mimics of diverticulitis during CT interpretation - Colorectal cancer - Acute appendicitis - Stercoral colitis
