Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
By color-coded duplex sonography moving structures are visualized as red or blue colors within a normal gray-scale B-mode ultrasound image. Thus, blood flow even within small vessels can be visualized clearly. Color-coded duplex sonographic examination was performed in 11 patients who presented with scrotal pain. This method proved to be reliable to differentiate between testicular torsion and testicular inflammation. By clearly demonstrating a lack of intratesticular blood flow in testicular torsion, while avoiding flow in scrotal skin vessels being misinterpreted as intratesticular blood flow, this method significantly decreases the number of patients in whom surgical evaluation is necessary to exclude testicular torsion. |
