| 要約: | Ultrasonography is effective for imaging superficial organs, such as the scrotum. Using a highfrequency
transducer, ultrasonography can identify the location and characteristics of scrotal
lesions with high accuracy. The primary role of ultrasound (US) in the evaluation of a scrotal
mass is to determine if it is intratesticular or extratesticular. Additional clinical information and
other imaging options may be needed to diagnose benign tumors and pseudo-tumors. MRI is
an effective problem-solving tool in cases with nondiagnostic US findings. CT is helpful for staging
testicular cancer and localizing undescended testis. This review covers the imaging features
of testicular and extratesticular tumors. |
