Appendicitis and alternate diagnoses in children: findings on unenhanced limited helical CT

L H Lowe et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2001 Aug.

Abstract

The objective of this manuscript is to review and illustrate the findings of appendicitis, and of alternate diagnoses that may clinically or radiographically simulate appendicitis, on unenhanced limited CT in children. Potential pitfalls in unenhanced limited CT interpretation of pediatric patients will also be discussed.
