A member asked:
Would a ct scan be able to tell you if your appendix or lymph nodes next to your appendix are infected?

Probably helpful: A ct scan can help identify the appendix and/or nearby tissues. It can give an idea about swelling or inflammation. The only limitation is that it is possible for the appendix to not be visualized. Rare occurrence, but, leaves you wandering what to do next. It's worth being done.
