Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe imaging and assess the value of multi-slice CT in diagnosing of acute appendicitis. Subjects and methods: From August 2021 to August 2022, 83 patients at 103 Military Hospital who presented acute abdominal pain, and were suspected complicated acute appendicitis clinically, were underwent MSCT and surgery. Results: The most appendiceal location was found in right iliac foss, the most acute appendicitis had diameter with 7 mm and larger (97.2%), wall thickness with 3 mm and larger (64.4%), contrast enhancement (84.9%), and fat stranding (86.3%). Appendicolith was only found in 35.6%. Se, Sp, Acc of MSCT for acute appendicitis were 93.1%, 100% và 94%. Se, Sp, Acc of MSCT for complicated appendicitis were 92%, 91.7% và 91.8%.
