title: [Meaningful application of imaging technics in acute appendicitis].
abstract: Acute appendicitis is primarily not a radiologically established diagnosis. In atypical abdominal symptoms plain radiographs and additive real-time ultrasonography may often show typical findings especially in complications of acute appendicitis (perforation, abscess formation and ileus). In these cases the differential diagnosis is narrowed and further therapeutic steps may be modified considerably.
