Sponsored by Duke University · Observational
Summary
This study is observational, not interventional, because the experimental ultrasound will be performed in all subjects and will not be used in the clinical care of patients (consequently, will not have the opportunity to affect clinical outcomes). Experimental images will be reviewed after completion of clinical care and will not be provided to the clinicians caring for the subjects. The investigators are not measuring the effect of the ultrasound examination on the subjects' outcomes.
419 studies on the registry are indexed under Appendicitis; 67 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 174 is below the median of 200 across 151 observational studies indexed under Appendicitis.

Duration of experimental ultrasound exam
Time frame: The duration of the experimental ultrasound exam in seconds will be digitally recorded at the time of its performance. We anticipate the ultrasound duration to be less than 600 seconds
Experimental ultrasound image quality.
