How to diagnose an acutely inflamed appendix; a systematic review of the latest evidence
2017, International Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Other smaller studies have yielded similar results [63,64]. Evidence has suggested USS should be the preferred imaging modality in children as well as pregnant and breast feeding women [65–69]. To increase the sensitivity of diagnosis and to avoid the radiation exposure of CT in equivocal cases, specific USS criteria and repeated USS scans have been adopted.
Appendiceal location analysis and review of the misdiagnosis rate of appendicitis associated with deep pelvic cecum on multidetector computed tomography
2016, Clinical ImagingCitation Excerpt :Helical computed tomography (CT) and MDCT demonstrate sensitivity values of 90–100%, specificity values of 91–99%, positive predictive values of 92–98%, and negative predictive values of 95–100% for the diagnosis of appendicitis [2–4]. The reported false-negative rates for diagnosing acute appendicitis using MDCT are as high as 7% [5,6]. However, the misdiagnosis of appendicitis still occurs in atypical cases.
Symptom-based ultrasonography
2014, Ultrasound ClinicsThe effect of abdominal pain duration on the accuracy of diagnostic imaging for pediatric appendicitis
2012, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Despite considerable efforts to develop and validate clinical scoring systems and decision rules, their performance is inadequate for clinical management.26-29 Thus, cross-sectional imaging with CT and ultrasonography has been studied and commonly used to improve the diagnostic evaluation of children with possible appendicitis.2,3,5,30-35 Although not the intent of the developers of the clinical scoring systems, recent adaptations recommend adjunctive imaging for indeterminate scores,26-28,36 and one decision rule was specifically created to limit CT use in low-risk patients.37
