Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Ultrasonography is equally sensitive and specific to computed tomography in diagnosing acute appendicitis with similar positive predictive value. Current study aimed to investigate the role of Ultrasonography as an initial diagnostic modality in suspected cases of acute appendicitis Materials and Methods: A prospective study of 50 patients with right iliac fossa pain and / or nausea, vomiting were analyzed by GE Logiq P5 Ultrasonography machine during the period of June 2016 till February 2017. Graded compression technique by USG was used. Results: Based on the contents and caliber of appendix, Ultrasonography was accurate to diagnose normal appendix in 22 patients and appendicular lesions in 28 patients. Conclusion: High frequency ultrasound probe and Graded compression method has high diagnostic value for analyzing appendicular lesions
