Imaging of acute appendicitis in children: EU versus U.S. ... or US versus CT? A European perspective.

Herma C Holscher1, Hugo A Heij.   

Abstract

There is substantial evidence that imaging may reduce the negative appendectomy rate, also in children. However, controversy exists about the preferred method: US or CT, and the choice appears to be determined by the side of the Atlantic Ocean. This review brings forth several arguments in favour of US.
