Normal appendix by ultrasound imaging

The gray scale ultrasound (A, and magnified in B) and Doppler image (C) of the appendix are projected in the transverse plane. Images A and B show a normal appendix measuring almost 6 mm in maximum transverse dimension (arrow). The appendix was compressible and no hyperemia was demonstrated (arrow) on the Doppler image (C). These findings are consistent with a normal appendix by ultrasound.
