ABSTRACT

Introduction With improvements in small parts ultrasound imaging, it is increasingly possible to study in great detail almost the whole spectrum of scrotal pathology. As a result, requests for scrotal ultrasound have increased to the extent that they constitute a very large workload. Another consequence is that it is now impossible to include a comprehensive discussion on scrotal ultrasound in a reasonably sized chapter. This chapter, therefore, employs a pragmatic approach, concentrating on those aspects of scrotal ultrasound that influence management.
