Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency in the paediatric population. Computed tomography (CT) has been shown to have high accuracy and low operator dependence in the diagnosis of appendicitis. However, with increased concerns regarding CT usage in children, ultrasound (US) is the imaging modality of choice in patients where appendicitis is suspected. This review describes and illustrates the step-wise graded-compression technique for the visualisation of the appendix, the normal and pathological appearances of the appendix, as well as the imaging characteristics of the common differentials. • A step-wise technique improves the chances of visualisation of the appendix. • There are often several causes for the non-visualisation of the appendix in children. • A pathological appendix has characteristic US signs, with several secondary features also identified. • There are multiple common differentials to consider in the paediatric patient.

A CT scan and a CAT scan are 2 terms for the same diagnostic imaging procedure using computed tomography (CT). This captures x-ray images of the body and combines them to create high-quality 3D images that doctors use to diagnose patients. #PreventativeDiagnosticCenter #Vegas #NV
