Sonographically visualized normal appendix precludes unnecessary computed tomography (CT) examination and may reduce negative appendectomy rates. Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) has been reported to improve the overall image quality. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess whether THI is more successful than conventional ultraso...
