title: [Role of multislice computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of right iliac tumors and inflammatory diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the capabilities of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in the differential diagnosis of tumors and inflammatory diseases of the cecum, appendix, and ascending colon.
  
  
  METHODS
  The investigation analyzed the complete data of medical records and the results of diagnosis in the patients admitted in 2009 to 2013 to the Treatment and Rehabilitation Center for right iliac pains. The results of MSCT were compared with those of histological verification.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The sensitivity and specificity of MSCT for diagnosing right iliac tumors were 97.6 and 97.8%, respectively. Those of MSCT for diagnosing right iliac inflammatory diseases were 95.1 and 97.3%, respectively. The investigation showed that the accuracy of MSCT for diagnosing right iliac tumors and inflammatory diseases was 94.1%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MSCT is the method of choice in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of right iliac tumors and inflammatory diseases.
