Nuts and bolts of male pelvic ultrasound
11:00 AM - 12:00 PMPresentation Synopsis / Abstract
This session offers a practical introduction to the ultrasound assessment of the testes, epididymis, spermatic cord, penis, and inguinal canal through a live scanning demonstration. Key techniques including patient positioning, probe selection, and image optimization will be highlighted.
A structured scanning approach will focus on normal anatomy and common clinical indications such as scrotal pain, masses, infertility, penile pathology, and suspected inguinal hernia. Typical sonographic features of conditions including testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, hydrocele, varicocele, spermatic cord abnormalities, and inguinal hernias will be reviewed.
This interactive session aims to build confidence and improve diagnostic accuracy by translating essential principles into practical, real-world ultrasound skills.
