    Author: Jeffrey RB, Jain KA, Nghiem HV.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1994 Jan; 162(1):55-9. PubMed ID: 8273690.
    Abstract:
    Graded compression sonography has proven to be of significant clinical value in the assessment of patients with right lower quadrant pain and possible appendicitis [1-3]. Despite its proven utility, a number of imaging pitfalls must be kept in mind when sonograms of the right lower quadrant are interpreted. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to illustrate a number of important limitations and areas of interpretive difficulty in sonography for appendicitis.
