The remaining 52 patients (mean age, 37.3 years; range, 15\u201398 years) were enrolled in this study. Two radiologists retrospectively reviewed the findings of 52 sonographic and CT examinations, and the appendix of each patient was classified as normal, equivocal appendicitis, nonperforated acute appendicitis, or perforated appendicitis. Causes of right lower quadrant pain other than appendicitis were also recorded. The additional value of supplementary CT was evaluated by performing head\u2010to\u2010head comparisons between CT and sonographic results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No patients with a normal appendix on sonography showed appendicitis on CT. In addition, there were no patients with a sonographic diagnosis of appendicitis who had a normal appendix on CT. Ten patients (19.2%) were determined to have additional value gained from CT.
