4.2.1\ Scanning Method

The patient lies in a supine position; a sling is made with a piece of paper to hold the penis on the anterior aspect of the lower abdominal wall. The patient may be told to immobilize the penis with his hand, and then the probe is placed at the anterior surface of the scrotum in a transverse way to scan the testis by moving the probe up and down.

4.2.2\ Section Structure

The axial view shows the testis in a round or ovoid shape, and the mediastinum as a linear echogenic band at the middle of the testis and the

transverse section of the body of the epididymis can also be seen.

4.2.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

The anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the adult testis are measured 2–3 cm in this view.

4.2.4\ The Clinical Application Value

This view is used to image the scrotal wall and the shape and size of the testis and epididymis. Tumors, trauma, inflammation, torsion of the testis and hydrocele, etc., can also be diagnosed in this view.
