4.3.1\ 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.

4.3.2\ Section Structure

The axial view shows the testes in a round or ovoid shape, and the tunica albuginea and the

transverse sections of bodies of both epididymides can also be seen.

4.3.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

The anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the adult testis can be measured in this view.

4.3.4\ The Clinical Application Value

Comparative observations in the shape, size, and intraechogenicity of the scrotal walls, testes, and both epididymides can be made in this view. Tumors, trauma, inflammation, torsion of the testis and hydrocele, etc., can also be diagnosed here.
