COLORECTAL DISEASE
Case #7 -
A 70 year old female with passing bright red blood per rectum

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
8.) If this procedure does not provide the needed information, are there other investigations that may help?

Further tests may include a tagged red cell scan and arteriography. Technetium scanning may detect the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum though it will not indicate that it is the source of bleeding.
