Standard and Additional Imaging for Testes/Scrotum 24 y/o patient presenting with right orchidectomy and epididectomyas a result of childhood orchidopexy. Query recurrence of left hydrocoele following surgical drainage four months prior to examination.
Standard Imaging Protocol Right and Left Testes • Transverse Images • Epididymalhead • Superior testis • Mid with trans measurement • Mid with colour to document blow flow • Inferior testes • Epididymal tail • Longitudinal Images • Lateral testis • Mid • Mid with longitudinal and AP measurement • Medial • Superior Aspect • Inferior Aspect Right and Left Epididymis • Longitudinal Images with measurement of the thickness of epididymis • Head • Body • Tail Comparison • Transverse images demonstrating both testes to allow for comparison of echotexture
Adapted Image Protocol for Patient Particulars Left Testes • Transverse Images • Epididymal head • Superior testis • Mid with trans measurement • Mid with colour to document blow flow • Inferior testes • Epididymal tail • Longitudinal Images • Lateral testis • Mid • Mid with longitudinal and AP measurement • Medial • Superior Aspect • Inferior Aspect Left Epididymis • Longitudinal Images with measurement of the thickness of epididymis • Head • Body • Tail
Additional Imaging • Images of relevant pathology including measurements • Upper and lower segments of the apparent hydrocoele • Colour Doppler imaging to assess if any pathological increase in vascularity is present • Image demonstrating communication between superior and inferior segments of the hydrocoele
