Abstract:

Objective — tooptimize MRI protocol in pregnant women with suspected acute appendicitis. Material and methods. There were 44pregnant women (gestation period 11 – 36 weeks)with suspected appendicitis. Results. Fat-suppressed T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was the most valuable to diagnose inflammation of appendix and surrounding tissues. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 100, 90 and 97.8%. Conclusion. MRI was useful to assess appendix and differentiate appendicitis with biliary and urinary diseases.
