Pulse-inversion US imaging of testicular ischemia: quantitative and qualitative analyses in a rabbit model.

Purpose: To quantitatively and qualitatively assess perfusion with pulse-inversion (PI) ultrasonography (US) in rabbit model of acute testicular ischemia.

Materials And Methods: Institutional animal care committee approval was obtained. After 35 rabbits underwent unilateral spermatic cord occlusion, testicular Doppler US and contrast material-enhanced PI imaging were performed.
