[A new immersion ultrasound technique for the investigation of the scrotum (author's transl)].
The testes of about 50 patients were examined by ultrasound, using a water immersion technique. Immersion sonography provides an excellent and anatomically detailed demonstration of the male genitalia. Intrascrotal fluid collections, extra- and intratesticular solid lesions and inflammatory processes can be accurately differentiated. The method is suitable for showing the size, shape and extent of a scrotal lesion. In many cases the echo pattern can provide information concerning the pathological changes of these organs.
