NCT04518436

Brief Summary

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging on diagnosis and surgical decision in patients with suspected acute appendicitis. Investigators believe that Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a valuable method in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and in making the decision of surgery.
