AI-generated Abstract

Right colonic diverticulitis, previously thought to be rare, is increasingly recognized due to advancements in imaging techniques. While commonly misdiagnosed as appendicitis, this condition has a benign course and can often be managed without surgery. The paper presents key MRI features for accurate diagnosis, showcasing the ability of MRI to differentiate right colonic diverticulitis from appendicitis, thus aiding in proper management and reducing unnecessary surgical interventions.
