Fig. 3

CEUS appearances of haematoma and ischaemia after blunt trauma. Dual-display image showing contrast-specific (left) and low MI B-mode image (right). A rounded hypoechoic and well-circumscribed lesion is seen (arrow), which shows no enhancement, in keeping with an intratesticular haematoma. Importantly, the lower pole of the testis appears heterogeneous on B-mode and shows no enhancement on CEUS, indicating the diagnosis of ischaemia (asterisk). The changes of the area of ischaemia are subtle on the B-mode image alone. Note the ability of CEUS to clearly define the borders of infarction which may be obscure on B-mode imaging alone
