Abstract
As utilization of MRI for clinically suspected pediatric appendicitis becomes more common, there will be increased focus on case interpretation. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to share our institution’s case interpretation experience. MRI findings of appendicitis include appendicoliths, tip appendicitis, intraluminal fluid–debris level, pitfalls of size measurements, and complications including abscesses. The normal appendix and inguinal appendix are also discussed.
