Information on a Testicular Scan
If you or your doctor are concerned about testicular cancer, this is the first diagnostic test to be ordered. Testicular scans are commonly performed to investigate testicular pain, swelling, or lumps, among other reasons. This non-invasive procedure helps confirm or exclude certain pathologies related to the testicles and epididymites.
Duration of the Scan
The examination lasts approximately 20-30 minutes.
If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help you through every step of the process.
What to expect during your Testes Scan
- Procedure: Ultrasound gel will be applied to your scrotum, and the testicles and epididymides will be scanned with an ultrasound probe. The kidneys will also be scanned as testicular pathology can sometimes be linked to renal pathology.
- Imaging: Multiple images will be taken for analysis by a consultant radiologist.
- Reporting: We aim to deliver the report to your GP within a few business days following your scan.
