Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in infants and children.Methods Color Doppler flow imaging was performed in 53 pediatric cases of acute appendicitis diagnosed clinically.Among them,41 were confirmed with color Doppler.All cases underwent appendectomies and postoperative pathologic examinations were performed routinely in all patients.Clinical data were analyzed by statistic software.Results Statistic data showed the accuracy of color Doppler flow imaging and clinical experience in diagnosis of pediatric acute appendicitis were 92.7%,and 67.9% respectively.There was significant difference between them.Conclusion Noninvasive color Doppler flow imaging seems to be a useful tool in the diagnosis of appendicitis in infants and children.
