Service Providers for Duplex Study of Testis
A duplex study of the testis is a type of ultrasound that combines traditional ultrasound imaging with Doppler technology to evaluate both the structure and blood flow of the testicles. It is primarily used to diagnose conditions like testicular torsion, varicocele, epididymitis, or tumors. The procedure involves applying a gel to the scrotum and using a transducer (a small handheld device) to send and receive sound waves, creating images of the testicles and measuring blood flow. It helps identify abnormalities such as reduced blood flow in cases of torsion. The test is non-invasive, generally painless, and does not require special preparation. Results assist in treatment decisions.
