"MRI is occasionally used for problem solving if the diagnosis is unclear on ultrasound. CT is only rarely needed, and is avoided because of its ionising radiation. Nuclear medicine studies (e.g. Tc99m-pertechnetate) have also fallen out of favour because of their ionising radiation."

"the tunica (vaginalis/albuginea) appears as an echogenic outline of the testis:"

Line 13:8 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>tunica (vaginalis/albuginea)</strong>'

"the tunica invaginates to form the linear echogenic testicular mediastinum (a.k.a. mediastinum testis)"

Line 14:64 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>testicular mediastinum </strong>'

"the rete testis can be identified in ~20% of patients"

Line 65:96 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>intratesticular </strong>'

"if a scrotal mass is found, one of the primary roles of ultrasound is to determine if it is intratesticular or extratesticular"

"important: both a short axis greyscale and a colour Doppler image should be obtained, in which both testes are imaged side-by-side ("buddy shot" or "sunglasses view"), to compare the size, relative echogenicity and blood flow"
