Abstract：
Computed tomography (CT) may show a variety of scrotal and penile pathologic finding, but is usually not used as a first-line imaging due to its limited soft tissue contrast. Nonetheless, there are three main scenarios for imaging of the scrotum and penis with CT. Pathologies may be found incidentally in patients undergoing abdominal and pelvic CT scanning for different reasons. In emergency settings, CT is frequently performed, and the recognition of scrotal and penile pathologies by the reporting radiologist is crucial to ensure optimal patient treatment and outcome. If MRI scanning cannot be performed due to contraindications or is unavailable in resource, limited CT may be used for the further characterization of scrotal and penile pathology found on ultrasound. This pictorial review wants to familiarize general and emergency radiologists with the anatomy and possible pathological findings of the scrotum and penis on CT.
摘要：
计算机断层扫描（CT）可以显示各种阴囊和阴茎的病理发现，但由于其有限的软组织对比度，通常不用作一线成像。尽管如此，CT对阴囊和阴茎的成像主要有三种情况.由于不同原因，在接受腹部和盆腔CT扫描的患者中可能偶然发现病理。在紧急设置中，经常做CT,报告放射科医生对阴囊和阴茎病变的识别对于确保最佳的患者治疗和结果至关重要。如果由于禁忌症或资源不可用而无法进行MRI扫描，有限的CT可用于进一步表征超声发现的阴囊和阴茎病理。此图片审查旨在使普通和急诊放射科医生熟悉CT上阴囊和阴茎的解剖结构和可能的病理发现。
