Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acute appendicitis has extremely varied clinical presentations. A delayed or missed diagnosis may result in severe adverse consequences. Helical CT is evolving as an important diagnostic aid, but the CT signs can be varied and can easily be overlooked by the unwary. This pictorial review illustrates the spectrum of radiological signs and appearances of appendicitis on helical CT. |
