What types of images will my child’s healthcare provider use?

Imaging tests to diagnose appendicitis in kids may include:

• Abdominal X-ray.
• An abdominal ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to show images of your child’s organs.
• Computed tomography (CT) scan shows cross-sections of your child’s body. It uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology.
