Figure 1. Normal appendix in a 48-year-old woman with pelvic pain. Coronal T2-weighted single-shot fast SE image of the upper pelvis shows the cecum (C) and bladder (B). The normal appendix (arrows) is clearly delineated as a blind-ending tubular structure arising off the base of the cecum. In the absence of oral contrast material, the normal appendix demonstrates signal intensity similar to that of the bowel wall on single-shot fast SE images.
