The efficacy of shear-wave elastography – performed simultaneously with Doppler sonography – for differentiating between testicular torsion and epididymo-orchitis

This animal study evaluates combining shear-wave elastography with Doppler ultrasound to improve differentiation between testicular torsion and epididymo-orchitis. Using a rat model, researchers measured tissue stiffness and blood flow at different time points to assess whether dual-modality imaging reduces diagnostic errors in acute scrotal emergencies.
