The most prevalent cause of emergency abdominal surgery is acute appendicitis. Ultrasonography is safe and widely available, although it's operator-dependent and difficult for people with massive bodies. Computed tomography (CT) scans are more accurate than ultrasonography, with a 93 to 98% accuracy rate. The goal of this investigation is to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonography and CT scanning for acute appendicitis. This is a cross-sectional study that was performed on 231 patients with suspected with acute appendicitis. The Alvarado score was initially used to diagnose acute appendicitis. A radiologist performed abdominal ultrasonography on all patients. If the results of the ultrasonography were negative or unclear, a CT scan was performed using oral contrast. Finally, all ultrasonography and CT scan data were reevaluated by an experienced radiologist and compared to the patient's final diagnosis in the case of surgery and pathology results. Comparisons between the two groups were performed. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value of ultrasonography according to pathology results in patients with low clinical suspicion were 74.9%, 63.4%, 94.3%, and 67.6%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of CT scans based on pathology results were 87.9%, 81.8%, 94.7%, and 79.3%, respectively, in patients with low clinical suspicion. The CT scan results in female patients suspected of appendicitis were completely consistent with the pathology results. The CT scan demonstrated greater specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing acute appendicitis compared to abdominal ultrasonography.
