Question about radiology report?

I recently had to go to the ER for severe abdominal pains. 2 years ago i had a complete small bowell obstruction and had a small bowel resect. So these new pains were of concern to me. The ER did bloodwork and took an x-ray and told me they don't know whats wrong and to follow up with my GI Dr. Well she's away untill the 27th, but my question is...on my home from hospital, I was reading the radiology report and it said " appendix looks good." I had my appendix removed years ago. They didn't even mention my appendix to me. Could they have seen something that looked like an appendix, but obviously isn't? is there any disorders that could mimic an appendix on an x-ray? Thanks.
