Normal appendix also will take barium contrast.
That test was done 50 yrs. before when there were no availablity of CT SCAN.
You can get a CT SCAN OF ABDOMEN WITH ORAL AND I.V CONTRAST and check for peri appendicular stranding .
Correlate the present condition clinically and with lab values.
Feel free to ask any further quary, would help you out
