Use of ultrasonographic and nuclear imaging to diagnose scrotal hernia in a dog

J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1990 Jun 1;196(11):1834-5.

Abstract

Ultrasonography and nuclear imaging were used in the diagnosis of scrotal hernia in a dog. Both techniques were useful as aids in the differential diagnosis of scrotal enlargement. Nuclear imaging was useful in ruling out testicular torsion; ultrasonography revealed a normal-appearing testis amid fluid and portions of omentum.
