Graded compression sonography has proven to be of significant clinical value in the assessment of patients with right lower quadrant pain and possible appendicitis [1-3]. Despite its proven utility, a number of imaging pitfalls must be kept in mind when sonograms of the right lower quadrant are interpreted. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to illustrate a number of important limitations and areas of interpretive difficulty in sonography for appendicitis.
分级加压超声检查已被证明在评估右下象限疼痛及可能患有阑尾炎的患者时具有重要的临床价值[1-3]。尽管其效用已得到证实，但在解读右下象限超声图像时，必须牢记一些成像陷阱。本文的目的是阐述超声检查在阑尾炎诊断中的一些重要局限性及解读难点。
