Equally important is to recognize the wide range of normal and look for associated findings. Appendicitis should not be diagnosed by size alone. Normal appendices can measure 13 mm in width and 35 cm in length, so it is important to consider the ancillary findings of obstruction, ischemia, inflammation and perforation.
The normal appendix can be identified most of the time without a significant difference in detection rate across the following modalities 5: ultrasound: ~70%. MRI: ~70%. CT: ~85%. Plain radiograph. an appendicolith is seen in 10% of patients, with 90% going on to develop appendicitis 1. the appendix can fill with contrast during a barium enema ...

CT features of a long normal pelvic appendix (incidental finding). According to the literature, the appendiceal length varies from 2 to 20 cm with an average length of 6 to 10 cm 1.
A list of normal radiological reference values is as follows: adrenal gland: <1 cm thick, 4-6 cm length. abdominal aorta: <3 cm diameter. appendix: on CT <6 mm caliber. atlantodental distance. adults: <3 mm. children: <5 mm.
Its reported frequency in ultrasonography is ~12.5% (range 6-17%) 3. The appendix epididymis, similarly to the appendix testis, is normally oval and pedunculated, although may be sessile in shape 1. They appear iso- or hyperechoic to the epididymal parenchyma. Sometimes, calcifications may be found. In general, the epididymis appendix is best ...
Appendicitis occurs when there is inflammation of the vermiform appendix. It is a very common condition and is a major cause of abdominal surgery in young patients.
The testicular appendix is a small, vestigial structure located at the upper pole of the testis.
Normal adult testes are ovoid and measure approximately 3 cm (AP) x 2-4 cm (TR) x 3-5 cm (length), with a volume of 12.5-19 mL 2. However, the size of the testes decreases with age. From the mediastinum testis, several radiating septa extend into the testis forming 250-400 lobules. Each of these lobules contains 2-3 seminiferous tubules.
In adults, the normal kidney is 10-14 cm long in males and 9-13 cm long in females, 3-5 cm wide, 3 cm in antero-posterior thickness and weighs 150-260 g. The left kidney is usually slightly larger than the right.
