Testicular Scan

5000+ scans done & counting

The testicular scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure that allows doctors to examine the testicles and surrounding areas. This scan can reveal essential information about the size, structure, and position of the testicles, as well as identify abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, torsion (twisting), and infections.

Testicular scans are generally recommended when there is unexplained pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicles, or when doctors need to evaluate the results of a physical exam or blood test that indicates a potential problem. Testicular scans can also aid in determining the cause of infertility or monitoring the response of the testicles to treatment in certain conditions.
