Value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography to the diagnosis of testicular torsion

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of normal and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for testicular torsion.Methods The normal and contrast-enhanced ultrasound images were retrospectively analyzed in 26patients with testicular torsion,and were compared their accuracies for the diagnosis of testicular torsion.Results The coincidence rate of normal ultrasonography was 61.5%,and was 92.3% of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography,showing a significant difference(P0.05).Conclusions Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography has a great value to the diagnosis of testicular torsion,and could be an assistant method when the normal ultrasonography could not make a diagnosis.
