The innovative techniques in ultrasound have added a new dimension to investigating superficially located areas such as the contents of the scrotal sac. High frequency transducers, improved technology with the addition of elastography, contrast enhanced ultrasound and microvascular imaging has resulted in a further improvement in diagnostic capabilities. The ability to clearly demonstrate the presence or absence of vascularity within the area under investigation adds an additional dimension to operator confidence in establishing the presence of infarction, global or segmental, or the walls and cavity of an abscess in the testis or epididymis.

- * EPs can appear in various body parts, including the lungs, breasts, and abdominal organs, making them tough to diagnose due to their similar imaging characteristics to other conditions.
- * The review highlights the importance of imaging for detecting EPs, but emphasizes that a histological confirmation is essential for an accurate diagnosis, especially for patients with a history of multiple myeloma, as timely diagnosis can greatly improve
Introduction: Inappropriate visits (IVs) and overcrowded emergency departments (EDs) can result in many complications for patients and medical staff. This study aimed to assess the incidence, associated factors, and predictive factors of IVs to ED.
Methods: This retrospective cohort single-center study was conducted in the ED of King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Conventional ultrasonography (US), including greyscale imaging and colour Doppler US (CDUS), is pivotal for diagnosing scrotal pathologies, but it has limited specificity. Historically, solid focal testicular abnormalities often led to radical orchidectomy. This retrospective study evaluated the utilisation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and strain elastography (SE) in investigating intratesticular focal abnormalities.
