Improvement of Appendix Identification and Appendicitis Diagnosis in us After Administration of Oral Contrast Medium
Rate of appendix localization on ultrasound is not high. We suggest a way to improve it's
 localization by oral administration of iodinated contrast material.
The administration of oral iodinated contrast material might facilitate identification of the
 appendix and accurate diagnosis of appendicitis. When indicated will shorten time to CT
 examination.
