| Popis: |
On ultrasound, the testis appears as a structure of intermediate, homogenous echogenicity. Mediastinum testis is seen as echogenic band with craniocaudal extension just beneath the tunica albuginea. Cyst or tubular ectasia is often noted within the mediastinum testis. This cystic structure is normally not seen, and its presence suggests obstruction of the distal genital duct. The epididymis is the structure of an elongated shape around the testis. On ultrasound, the epididymis shows similar echogenicity with the testes, but the epididymal head is slightly higher in the echogenicity than the epididymal body and tail. |
