Background & Objectives: Differentiation of histologic subtypes of appendiceal mucoceles may prove to be difficult on computed tomography (CT). The main objective of this study was to identify the CT features of mucocele of the appendix and correlate the imaging findings with histopathology in inflammatory, benign, and malignant neoplastic lesions, and whether these entities can be accurately differentiated on CT imaging.
Materials And Methods: CT scans of 31 patients with diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele were retrospectively reviewed and compared with histopathology.

Objectives: This study aims to develop and validate nomograms that utilize morphological and radiomics features derived from computed tomography enterography (CTE) to evaluate inflammatory activity in patients with ileocolonic Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: A total of 54 CD patients (237 bowel segments) with clinically confirmed CD were retrospectively analyzed. The Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) was used as a reference standard to quantify the degree of mucosal inflammation and assess disease severity.
