Abstract:
We present a case of subacute left testicular pain and enlargement. Scrotal Doppler ultrasound revealed an enlarged left testicle with symmetrical intra-testicular colour flow bilaterally. Contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrated incomplete testicular torsion which was verified at surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of contrast-enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of incomplete testicular torsion.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
