Computed tomography (CT) effectively visualizes the appendix and acute appendicitis. This pictorial review details normal appendix CT findings and criteria to distinguish perforated from non-perforated appendicitis.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Appendicitis is a frequent abdominal emergency affecting 7%-12% of individuals.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a pictorial overview of normal appendix and acute appendicitis on CT scans.
  • To illustrate CT criteria for differentiating perforated and non-perforated appendicitis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of computed tomography (CT) images of the appendix.
  • Inclusion of images demonstrating normal appendix morphology.
  • Presentation of CT findings characteristic of acute appendicitis, including perforation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of the diverse appearances of a normal appendix on CT.
  • Illustration of key CT features distinguishing perforated appendicitis from non-perforated appendicitis.
  • Visual guide to the spectrum of appendicitis imaging findings.

Conclusions:

  • CT imaging is a valuable tool for diagnosing appendicitis and its complications.
  • Understanding CT criteria aids in differentiating appendicitis severity, guiding clinical management.
