MP04-05 SCROTAL ULTRASOUND REDUCES UNNECESSARY SCROTAL EXPLORATION IN BLUNT SCROTAL TRAUMA

Bedside Ultrasound in a Case of Blunt Scrotal Trauma

This case study describes a patient who suffered blunt force trauma to the scrotum. Use of bedside emergency ultrasound facilitated early diagnosis of a ruptured testicle and allowed for prompt urological consultation and timely surgical repair. The utility of bedside emergency ultrasound in the evaluation of testicular trauma, as well as the outcome of our case, is discussed here.

Contrast-enhanced sonography in blunt scrotal trauma().

The scope of this study was to determine whether contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), compared with basic US, can increase diagnostic confidence and provide relevant information on blunt scrotal trauma. Over a period of 75 months we examined 40 patients seen consecutively for blunt scrotal trauma using high-resolution US, color-power Doppler, low mechanical index CEUS, and power Doppler af...

Scrotal Ultrasound

Portability, safety, low cost and efficiency, together with the ability to accurately define pathology rapidly, have made ultrasound the primary imaging modality for evaluation of the scrotum, testis and paratesticular structures. These factors provide for timely diagnosis and treatment. Scrotal ultrasound is particularly helpful when a physical examination is inconclusive or a disease process ...

Clinical Perspectives of Scrotal Ultrasound in Urology

Scrotal ultrasound is widely used in modern hospitals as the first-line evaluation of almost all scrotal abnormalities. It provides useful and timely information for physicians to make management decisions without delay. This chapter is written in accordance with the clinical perspectives of urologists, as opposed to the technical interpretation of radiologists, in order to provide practical as...
