Accuracy of CT was improved by mandating at least one of Methods We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric patients the previous three clinical correlates, resulting in 68.4% who underwent appendectomy within one day of CT or sensitivity and 93.9% specificity.

Findings on CT/MRI were was more specific for complicated appendicitis. CT grouped into ‘‘hard’’ findings (abscess, pneumoperitoneum, specificity is improved by our algorithm.
