摘要：
Testicular torsion is a common differential diagnosis of acute scrotal pain along with acute epididymo-orchitis, which may lead to testicular non-viability. Doppler ultrasound and testicular scintigraphy are two routinely used modalities for the assessment of testicular viability. However, in some cases, these investigations may prove inadequate in differentiating between the two entities with widely differing management. Here, we present a case of a 52-year-old male with questionable viability of testis, who was investigated initially using testicular scintigraphy and was further subjected to a regional 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, in view of inconclusive findings with the conventional modalities. © 2018, Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine.
