dc.description.abstractAims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine the accuracy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and to compare the ultrasound diagnosis with intraoperative diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Hundred cases of clinically diagnosed acute appendicitis patients were studied and compared with data from the literature. Result: Ultrasonography has sensitivity of 84.1%, specificity of 50%, positive predictive value of 92.5%, and negative predictive value of 30%. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is the investigation of choice for screening of acute appendicitis.en_US
