[Sonography of the scrotal contents].
According to our examination of 266 patients, ultrasonography of scrotal contents, specifically of the testes, proves to be a highly reliable, non-invasive diagnostic method. The major advantage of this technique is the fact that it enables adequate evaluation of the testes and exclusion of tumours, even when examination by palpation seems difficult or impossible due to extratesticular alterations (e.g. hydrocele, epididymitis). By means of this method also small, non-palpable lesions of the testes may be clearly demonstrated.
