Is there an obvious difference in CT scans of an appendix before bursting and after bursting?

Sometimes. Interpreting CT scans requires years of training and even then it is not always easy. It is usually possible to tell if a patient has ruptured their appendix on a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis but there are a number of factors that can make the scan harder to interpret (patient size, type of scanner etc.) so we can rarely be 100% certain. Scans help to guide physicians and surgeons as they treat you, but scans may not always provide concrete answers.
