©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Doppler ultrasound of appendicitis In this doppler ultrasound image of appendicitis, the appendix appears edematous (9 x 8 mm) and hypervascular. The layers of the wall are still detectable. Continued inflammation may be followed by localized ischemia (which may be visualized by color Doppler imaging) and necrosis. Sonographic findings were confirmed at surgery. Courtesy of Christoph F Dietrich, MD.
