Need a Testicular Ultrasound? We at Life Imaging can perform your ultrasound or scrotal sonogram in Dade or Broward County, Florida at a reduced fee. Please Call (954) 436-6622.
The Testicular Ultrasound is used to examine the scrotum, a sac or pouch that contains the testicles, epididymis and the tubes (vas deferens). An ultrasound is used to evaluate patients with acute scrotal pain and can assist the physician in diagnosing epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, torsion of the testicular appendage, testicular trauma, and herniation of abdominal contents into the scrotum.
What happens during the ultrasound exam?
The patient lies on a table with the groin area covered with a drape or blanket. The sonographer (technologist who performs the exam) will put a warm water-based gel on the skin surface. The gel helps to transmit the sound waves by excluding air. An instrument called a transducer, which is about the size of a microphone, will be moved over the skin surface by the sonographer.
