4.4.1\ 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 in a longitudinal way at the anterior surface of the scrotum to scan the epididymis.

4.4.2\ Section Structure

The longitudinal view shows the head of the epididymis locating at upper posterior to the testis in

a triangle shape, and the upper portion of the testis can also be seen.

4.4.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

The anteroposterior and upper-lower diameters of the head of the epididymis in the adult testis can be measured 10–12 mm in this view.

4.4.4\ The Clinical Application Value

Cysts, tumors, trauma, inflammation of the head of epididymis and hydrocele, etc., can be diagnosed here.
