An ultrasound may show appendiceal inflammation, gallbladder disease, and pregnancy. However, the most common imaging test that is used to diagnose appendicitis is the CT scan, which can: Provide a series of cross-sectional images of the body.
At sonography the normal appendix is less frequently visualized, with results varying between 0-82% [1], reflecting the operator dependency of sonography. One of the most important imaging criteria in the evaluation of appendicitis is the outer diameter of the appendix. Although an overlap of appendiceal diameters in normal and inflamed appendices has been reported, a threshold value of 6-7 mm is most commonly used [1]. (Fig. 1).
