This structure is Merckel’s Diverticulum
Technetium-99 scan used to detect the mucosa.
Meckel’s diverticulum can be very difficult to demonstrate by contrast radiology; small bowel enema would be the most accurate investigation
Technetium-99m scanning may be useful in identifying Meckel’s diverticulum as a source of gastrointestinal bleeding
