The Role of Ultrasound Elastography in the Diagnosis of Testicular Tumors

NCT06231329CI-TRIAL-00074522unknownClinicalTrials.gov clinicaltrialsPublishedExplore in graph →

Summary

Brief summary (as posted)

The aim of study is to differentiate between testicular tumors by their elastographic criteria (Stiffness \[hard to soft\] , Shape under compression , etc.) using ultrasound elastography techniques (shear wave/strain elastography) on suspected testicle that showed specific lesion on normal ultrasound examination.
