Testicular imaging.
Clinicians have relied on radionuclide scanning for evaluating acute scrotal pain and on ultrasonography for chronic scrotal pain and anatomic lesions (testicular and paratesticular structures). This review reinforces the utility of these established imaging techniques and also introduces color Doppler ultrasonography as an integral component in the advancement of testicular imaging, particularly in effective and timely diagnosis of spermatic cord torsion. The expanding capability of MR imaging for scrotal disorders is presented.
