Suspected testicular torsion — what to assess first?

Color Doppler for absent or markedly reduced intratesticular flow versus the contralateral side. Within a 6-h window, viability is high — imaging should be immediate.

Post-void residual — normal?

Typical adult: 100 mL suggest significant retention. Compute after recent voluntary voiding.

Enlarged prostate — when multiparametric MRI?

Elevated/abnormal PSA, clinical suspicion of cancer, suspicious sonographic finding, or pre-biopsy. PI-RADS is the categorization system.

Report template — Ultrasound of kidneys and tract urinary and prostate

When to use

Urinary tract and male genital US assesses kidneys, urinary tract, bladder, prostate and scrotum. Indicated for urolithiasis workup, hematuria, BPH, suspected mass, acute scrotum, varicocele and testicular nodule. Suspected testicular torsion is an absolute emergency.

What to evaluate

Kidneys: size, contour, parenchyma (thickness, echogenicity), pelvis, calyces.
Urinary tract: dilatation, stones, intraluminal tumors.
Bladder: wall, content, post-void residual volume.
Prostate: volume (V = c × w × h × 0.52), central/peripheral zones, nodules.
Testes: volume, echotexture, Doppler flow (rule out torsion and tumor); epididymis; varicocele.
