Objective To analyze the effect and detection rate of high- and low-frequency ultrasound combined in the clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Methods A total of 66 patients with suspected acute appendicitis admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were included. The patients were divided into a control group (high-frequency ultrasound examination) and an observation group (with low-frequency ultrasound examination), 33 cases in each group, according to the diagnosis method. The pathological examination results were used as the gold standard to compare the diagnostic effects of the two groups. Results The diagnostic accuracy of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the acute appendicitis classification compliance rate was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of high- and low-frequency ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in clinical practice has a good diagnostic value. The combined examination has a higher detection rate and a higher compliance rate for the classification of acute appendicitis, which can provide an effective reference for the treatment of acute appendicitis in clinical patients.
