Imaging Tests
Your doctor could advise the following if you have severe ulcerative colitis symptoms or if they think you might have complications:
- X-ray: If you have issues, such as a hole in your colon, an X-ray can help you identify them. [4]
- CT scan: Your doctor may be able to understand the severity of your inflammation and any potential consequences with you thanks to a CT scan. [5]
- CT enterography: Compared to a standard X-ray or CT scan, a CT enterography can provide you a more in-depth view of your colon. [6]
- Enterography using magnetic resonance:An MR enterography is a radiation-free procedure that can help you discover inflammation and build a thorough image of your colon.
