Abstract
This study reports results of a national survey of member institutions of the Society of Chiefs of Radiology at Children's Hospitals regarding use of MRI for appendicitis in the emergency department (ED); respondents from 39 of 100 surveyed institutions participated. A total of 21 of 39 institutions perform MRI for acute appendicitis in the ED; 17 of 21 institutions perform MRI only after an initial ultrasound examination. The number of MRI sequences ranges from three to eight. The estimated room time ranges from 8 to 30 minutes.
