Computerized tomography (CT) scan. In patients who are not pregnant, a CT scan (a type of X-ray study) of the area of the appendix is useful in diagnosing appendicitis and peri-appendiceal abscesses as well as in excluding other diseases inside the abdomen and pelvis that can mimic appendicitis.
One author reported the ability to identify a normal appendix in as many as 82% of patients without appendicitis. When a normal appendix cannot be demonstrated and when no pericecal fluid or echogenic mass is observed, the examination is usually considered not to be diagnostic for appendicitis.T scan findings in appendicitis. With high-resolution CT scanning, an abnormal appendix can be observed, and variable CT scan findings can be evaluated in patients with acute appendicitis. A few secondary findings often accompany acute appendicitis.
