Yes, an ultrasound can be used to visualize the appendix, particularly in children and pregnant women, as it is a non-invasive imaging technique. However, its effectiveness may vary depending on the patient's body type and the presence of gas in the intestines, which can obscure the view. In adults, a CT scan is often more reliable for diagnosing appendicitis. Nonetheless, ultrasound can still be a useful tool in specific cases.
