The preoperative plain abdominal radiographs of 34 patients who had had appendectomies were evaluated to determine the frequency of well-known radiographic signs in acute appendicitis. Scoliosis occurred in 17 patients (50%), right lower quadrant (RLQ) fluid levels in 21 (62%), ileus in 24 (70%), and combined RLQ fluid levels and ileus in 27 (80%). Bowel wall edema was seen in eight patients (23%) and calcified coproliths in six (17%). The presence of RLQ fluid levels or localized ileus or both proved to be the most reliable of the signs.
对34例行阑尾切除术患者的术前腹部平片进行评估，以确定急性阑尾炎中知名影像学征象的出现频率。17例患者（50%）出现脊柱侧凸，21例（62%）出现右下腹（RLQ）液平，24例（70%）出现肠梗阻，27例（80%）同时出现RLQ液平和肠梗阻。8例患者（23%）可见肠壁水肿，6例（17%）可见钙化粪石。RLQ液平或局限性肠梗阻或两者同时存在被证明是最可靠的征象。
