What the experts said
A mixed-method study done in Colorado aimed to reduce the rate of CT by implementing a quality improvement campaign to stimulate the use of rapid sequence MRI for appendicitis
The quality improvement campaign was implemented in May 2021
The study retrospectively examined all patients with appendicitis from 2016 to 2022
The campaign significantly reduced the rates of CT use while increasing the rates of rapid sequence MRI with similar diagnostic results
Rapid sequence MRI can be used instead of CT for equivocal ultrasound in suspected appendicitis
