Correlation between semiquantitative sonoelastography and immunohistochemistry in the evaluation of testicular focal lesions

摘要

BackgroundSonoelastography is a novel and promising imaging tool, which has been applied to breast, thyroid, and prostate tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate focal lesions of the testes with diameters of <10 mm using sonoelastography, B-mode sonography (US), and colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDU).
