• Findings: Active extravasation of contrast into the large bowel lumen at the junction of the descending colon and sigmoid colon is seen on the arterial phase study with further pooling of contrast on the delayed phase. There is no mass lesion at this site to suggest bleeding from a colonic malignancy, nor is there any surrounding inflammatory change to suggest diverticulitis as a cause.
