Evaluating the Diagnostic Efficacy of Computed Tomography in Appendicitis Cases With Negative Ultrasound Findings.

Introduction: Acute appendicitis (AA) is a prevalent cause of abdominal pain, and accurate diagnosis is critical to prevent complications such as perforation. While ultrasound (USG) is often the first imaging modality, its limitations necessitate alternative approaches, particularly in cases where USG results are negative.

Objectives And Aims: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in identifying appendicitis in patients presenting with negative USG findings.
