Pediatric uterus, ovary, and testis
286
Testis
PREPARATION
None.
POSITION
Supine, with scrotal support as required.
TRANSDUCER
7.0–13.0 MHz linear transducer.
METHOD
Compare reectivity between the two sides on a single image. Obtain transverse and longitudinal images.
APPEARANCE
The testes are homogenous and of medium-level reectivity.
MEASUREMENTS
Testis volume measurement is calculated using the following formula:
Length × Width × Height × 0.71
The mean volume of neonatal testis is 0.35 ml. The mean testicular vol­ume increases in the rst 5 months from 0.27 to 0.44 ml, after which the volume decreases to 0.31 ml at 9 months, remaining stable to 6 years.
The prepubescent volume is 1–2 ml, and at puberty the volume is > 4ml.
Testicular volume greater than 2 ml allows reliable appreciation of intratesticular color Doppler ow.
There is a ×2.5 increase in testicular length and width, and ×2 increase in testicular depth between 10 and 17 years.
From the 10
1.36 ml to 12.83 ml in 17
th
year of life, the testicular volume increases ×10 from
th
year of life.
Testis
Testis volume is calculated by measuring the length (between cursors), width, and height.
287
The width and height (between cursors) measurements are obtained by turning the transducer into the transverse plane.

Neonatal brain (ventricular size)
PREPARATION
None.
POSITION
Supine.
TRANSDUCER
5.0–8.0 MHz curvilinear array transducer with a small footprint. A 10 MHz linear transducer will demonstrate the supercial subdural space and superior sagittal sinus.
METHOD
Performed through the anterior fontanelle in the neonate where this remains patent. The posterior fontanelle allows access to the poste­rior brain structures. Oblique coronal and oblique sagittal views are obtained, and the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles are measured.
APPEARANCE
The ventricles are clearly identied as echo-free areas within the mid­level echoes of the brain parenchyma. The walls of the ventricles are well demonstrated in the premature infant but are often opposed in the term infant. Measurements are taken in the coronal direction at the level of the foramen of Monro. A minor degree of asymmetry of the ventricles is common, the left slightly larger. Serial measurements are important to document progression or regression.
MEASUREMENTS Ventricular width: Taken from the medial wall to the oor of the ven-
tricle at the widest point, measured at 0 mm when the ventricle appears as a thin high-reective line; this should be described as depth rather than width.
Neonatal brain (ventricular size)
Measurements are taken in the coronal direction at the level of the foramen of Monro. Ventricular width measurement is taken from the medial wall to the oor of the ventricle at the widest point.

Ventricular ratio (VR): Using a transverse approach, from the tempo­ral window (or lateral fontalle); the ventricular width (VW), from the midline to the lateral ventricle wall; and the hemispheric width (HW), from the midline to the inner skull margin, measurements were applied to calculate the VR. (VR = VW/HW).

Neonatal brain (Doppler ultrasound)
PREPARATION
None.
POSITION
1. Through the anterior fontanelle. Sagittal and angled/
sagittal or coronal and angled/coronal views.
2. Through the temporal bone. Axial image with transducer placed 1 cm anterior and superior to tragus of the ear.
TRANSDUCER
Linear 7.5 MHz transducer.
METHOD
Resistance Index (RI) is obtained from middle cerebral (MCA), anterior cerebral (ACA), internal carotid (ICA), and posterior cerebral arteries.
APPEARANCE
The ACAs and ICAs course parallel to the image plane on transfon­tanellar views, providing the optimum Doppler angle. For the same reason, the MCAs are best visualized on the transtemporal view.
MEASUREMENTS
RI
Anterior cerebral (premature) 0.5–1.0 Anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral (term) 0.6–0.8 Internal carotid (term) 0.5–0.8
Intracranial RI normally decreases with increasing gestational age.

Elevated or rising RI is seen in hydrocephalus and cerebral edema due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Low RI is seen in babies on extracor­poreal membrane oxygenation.
