What is an Ultrasound Testes and Scrotum?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Testes and Scrotum allows your radiologist to examine:
- The size, shape, and texture of both testicles.
- The epididymis, a coiled tube located behind each testicle.
- The blood vessels supplying the testicles.
- The layers of the scrotum.
- Any fluid collections within the scrotum.
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the testes and scrotum.
