Shear-Wave Elastography of Segmental Infarction of the Testis
- 1. Dept. of Radiology, Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, Istanbul (Turkey)
Description
Segmental testicular infarction (STI) is a rare cause of acute scrotum. The spectrum of findings on gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography differ depending on the time between the onset of testicular pain and the ultrasonography examination. We are not aware of the usefulness of shear-wave elastography for the diagnosis of STI. We report the shear-wave elastography features in a case of STI and discuss the role of this diagnostic modality in the differential diagnosis.
