Appendicitis
Clinical
The differential diagnosis is often between gynecological and GI pathology. A RUQ US exam plus appendix or a pelvis plus appendix may have to be done depending on the clinical situation. CT is the preferred exam in the obese or elderly, or in patients who are in so much [...]

AAA (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm)
Clinical
Approximately 90-95% of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are confined to the infrarenal aorta. AAA are usually not repaired until they exceed 4-5 cm in maximum diameter. The risk of rupture within 5 years is 25% at 5 cm diameter. AAA smaller than 5 cm have a a3% risk [...]
