Summary:

• Radiopaedia case ID: 47608
• Image ID: 24751772
• Modality: Nuclear medicine
• System: Urogenital
• Findings: Following IV administration of 21 mCi technetium 99m pertechnetate, an angiographic (not shown) and blood pool study of the testicles was performed. Due to a large amount of fluid within the left testicle, there is marked attenuation of the activity within the entire scrotum. Hence, blood flow and testicular viability cannot be assessed.
