Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Several imaging modalities are available for evaluating the patient with acute scrotal pain. Until recently, scintigraphy was the initial procedure of choice in most patients, as it was the only noninvasive technique for determining integrity of blood flow to the testicle. Ultrasound was valuable when the scintiscan was inconclusive or in the setting of scrotal trauma. With the advent of color Doppler sonography, information about both structure and blood flow can be obtained by means of a single imaging study. If initial promising results with this newer technique are borne out, color Doppler is likely to become the primary diagnostic test in patients with acute scrotal pain. The role of MRI and MRS has yet to be defined. |
