Results in Patients With Ultrasonography or Cross-Sectional Abdominal Imaging

Patient Modality Normal Result
1 CT Yes Normal-appearing bowel
No inflammatory stranding or secondary signs suggestive of appendicitis
Diffuse ground-glass opacities and septal thickening in the lung bases
Nodular airspace opacities in the posterior dependent lobes may represent atelectasis or pneumonia
2 MRI No Severe concentric mural thickening, edema, and hyperenhancement of a short segment of terminal ileum with extensive mesenteric fat edema, as well as similar mural thickening in the rectosigmoid colon
Ascites
3 MRI No Scant pelvic ascites
Normal gastrointestinal tract
4 US No Right lower quadrant lymphadenopathy suggestive of mesenteric adenitis
5 US No Ascites, thick-walled gall bladder without cholecystitis
6 US No Sludge in gallbladder
7 US No Thickened bowel loops in the right lower quadrant, a prominent appendix, thickened gallbladder wall
8 US No Gallbladder wall thickening and pericholecystic fluid concerning for acalculous cholecystitis, small amount of free fluid
9 US No Nonspecific, course heterogeneous parenchymal echogenicity of the liver without focal lesions, not seen on prior US
10 US No Nonspecific mild bowel wall thickening in pelvis, gallbladder distended and filled with sludge, trace pelvic free fluid
11 US No Hepatomegaly, normal echogenicity, patent vasculature
12 US Yes Normal
13 US No Right lower quadrant mesenteric adenitis
14 US Yes Normal
15 US No Small ascites, gallbladder sludge, homogenous liver, patent hepatic vasculature
