Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) for the localization of undescended testicles was performed in 28 patients, in 21 of whom ultrasonography (US) was also performed: Among the 21 operated cases, LCT correctly localized the testicles in 19, and US in 18 cases. LCT may be used in screening for undescended testicles.
