title: Sonography of the pediatric scrotum: emphasis on the Ts--torsion, trauma, and tumors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to review the different scrotal disease entities in the pediatric population, focusing on acute scrotum, traumatic injuries, and testicular tumors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Many pediatric scrotal disorders can be well characterized on sonography. An understanding of the various disease entities, their clinical presentations, and the typical sonographic features should all be combined to make an accurate diagnosis.
