Practising the following the large bowels.
Following the Large Bowels and Finding Appendix4:14
Finding the caecum and the appendix.

Finding Appendix Vermiformis (Easy)2:30
In this lecture, we have learned to find the appendix vermiformis in the patients with high visceral fat.
Theory of the Acute Appendicitis8:52
The theory of the acute appendicitis were discussed.
Finding Appendix Vermiformis 2 (Easy)4:42
In this lecture, we have learned to find the appendix vermiformis.
Finding Appendix Vermiformis 3 (Easy)4:18
In this lecture, we have learned to find the appendix vermiformis.
Finding Appendix Vermiformis 4 (Easy)3:50
In this lecture, we have learned to find the appendix vermiformis.
Finding the Normal Appendix Vermiformis 5 ( Easy)1:58
Identify the normal appendix on CT using arterial phase IV contrast and noncontrast imaging near the terminal ileum, and follow its course from transverse to lateral and inferior, ending blindly.

Acute Appendicitis (Easy)2:09
Identify the appendix on a venous phase CT, locate it near ileocecal valve, and recognize acute appendicitis by a tubular structure about 10 mm with wall enhancement and no air.
Acute Appendicitis 2 (Easy)2:42
Acute Appendicitis 3 (Easy)3:53
Demonstrates identification of acute appendicitis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT, highlighting appendix location, fat stranding, and increased diameter, with discussion of uncomplicated versus perforated appendicitis.
Acute Appendicitis 4 (Easy)4:16
Assess CT indicators of acute appendicitis by noting fat stranding in the right lower quadrant, observing the terminal ileum and appendix, and confirming a 7 mm, thickened, enhancing appendix.
Acute Appendicitis 5 (Easy)4:08
Acute Appendicitis 6 (Easy)2:31
Review a contrast-enhanced portal venous phase abdominal CT to trace the appendix from the terminal ileum, note a blind-ending 9 mm appendix with fluid density, and identify acute appendicitis.

Finding the Normal Appendix Vermiformis ( Medium-Hard)2:43
Notice, it is hard to find appendix vermiformis in the patients with low visceral fat.
Finding the Normal Appendix Vermiformis 2 ( Medium-Hard)3:04
Finding the Normal Appendix Vermiformis 3 ( Medium-Hard)4:22
Identify the normal appendix vermiformis on non-contrast abdominal CT by following the transverse colon to the ileocecal valve and locating the appendix origin below the valve using coronal views.
Finding the Normal Appendix Vermiformis 4 ( Medium-Hard)3:10

Acute Appendicitis 1 (Medium-Hard)3:58
Trace the contrast-enhanced CT to locate the appendix near the terminal ileum, then measure its diameter and assess surrounding fat for acute appendicitis signs.
Acute Appendicitis 2 (Medium-Hard)2:48
Identify acute appendicitis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT with portal venous phase, using thin slices to trace the terminal ileum to a tubular, enhancing appendix in a low visceral fat patient.
Acute Appendicitis 3 (Medium-Hard)3:38
Demonstrate locating the appendix on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT, tracing from the terminal ileum amid visceral fat to identify acute appendicitis, noting fat stranding, 8.5 mm diameter, and no perforation.
Acute Appendicitis 4 (Medium-Hard)3:01

Complicated Appendicitis 11:50
Learn CT signs of complicated appendicitis by identifying extraluminal air, wall discontinuity, and periappendiceal fluid or fat stranding to diagnose perforation, and distinguish from simple acute appendicitis.
Complicated Appendicitis 24:00
Complicated Appendicitis 34:20
Complicated Appendicitis 44:29
Complicated Appendicitis 4(continue)3:51
Perforated appendicitis with abscess (post op).
Complicated Appendicitis 53:22
Review a contrast-enhanced ct case of complicated appendicitis with right lower quadrant pain, identifying the appendix amid ileocecal structures, noting fat stranding and inflammation that signals potential abscess formation.
Compilacated Appendicitis 61:51
Identify the appendix origin on CT through the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve, then assess for complicated appendicitis with periappendiceal stranding and perforation.

Requirements

Medical Knowledge to understand anatomy and pathology of the appendicitis.

Description

Hello my friends,

My name is Turay CESUR. I am from Turkey. I am a European Board Certified Radiologist .

In the clinical practice, i know it's hard to diagnose acute appendicitis when you are not experienced.

And i know, i like to teach people about Radiology.

Because of this, i tried to my best to make an enjoyable course about diagnosing acute appendicitis.

This the shortest, easiest and the most interactive course when it comes to diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

First, I gave a brief introduction to abdominal tomography and the other basics.

Then I talked about the anatomy of the small and large intestines and how they can be followed.

Then, I discussed normal and abnormal appendix patients in both groups, simple and difficult, one by one in an interactive manner.

I interpret many patients myself and show what I pay attention to while interpreting.

Among the course resources, there are radiopeadia playlists and dicom formats that you can practice yourself.

I included only one theoretical lesson so you don't get bored.

I provided my email address so that we can stay in touch and answer your questions directly.

I am waiting for you to enjoy this course.

Respectfully...
