Acute appendicitis (AA) still maintains its prominence among general surgical emergencies, and the risk of developing AA is 8.6% for men and 6.7% for women. The clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis has a rate of approximately 20% false positive and false-negative. Ultrasound (US) and Computed Tomography (CT) are the imaging methods most utilized in this field. The present study aims to determine the relationship between the evaluation results of the clinician who examined the patient and the radiologist's evaluation in the evaluation of cross-sectional imaging tests for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
