| Core Tip |
When equivocal computed tomography (CT) findings for appendicitis are encountered, the diagnostic accuracy can be enhanced by identifying several characteristic CT features: appendiceal diameter ≥ 6.0 mm, appendiceal wall thickening ≥ 2.0 mm, periappendiceal fat stranding, and the absence of intraluminal air. Therefore, radiologists, surgeons and physicians should apply these criteria when encountering patients with equivocal CT findings for appendicitis. |
