INTRODUCTION:
This is a preliminary research study conducted by myself, Daniel a/l Jeyaraman, Bachelor of Medical Imaging to measure the knowledge of the radiographers based on their ability to detect the radiographic appearance of acute appendicitis in various imaging modalities, such as CT-scan, Ultrasound and MRI. The knowledge of the radiographers will be assessed by statistical evaluation of the answers, given for questionnaire about the criteria of radiographic presentation …show more content…
