The detection of characteristic radiographic signs in CAPD patients presenting with symptoms of intestinal obstruction may suggest the presence of severe SP and should lead to cautious surgical interventions.

MRA is recommended in all patients with inconclusive CDUS findings and persistent suspicion for SPOVT. CT has the advantage of more rapid access and lower cost and thus will probably remain a sufficiently accurate alternative.

The sensitivity of CT interpretations for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis differs considerably between radiologists. This interobserver variability has to be taken into account during implementation of routine CT scanning in patients with suspected acute appendicitis. Only in centres with expert CT radiologists is the implementation of routine CT scanning in patients with suspected acute appendicitis justified.

Plain helical CT in patients with suspected acute appendicitis provides an accurate diagnosis without the disadvantages of contrast enhancement.
