Sequences: patient supine.
- Coronal HASTE (iliac crests through perineum)
- Axial T1 FSE (small FOV)
- Axial T2 FSE (small FOV)
- Coronal T1 FSE (small FOV)
- Coronal T2 FSE (small FOV)
- Opt: axial and/or coronal T1 FSE with fat saturation
- Opt: post-Gd axial and/or coronal T1 FSE with fat saturation
Comments:
·
All but initial sequence performed with coned-down field of view (FOV)
centered on the scrotum.
·
Give Gadolinium only for infections or abscess, NOT for tumor workup
(will not change the diagnosis).
Dictation
template:
Non-contrast coronal HASTE from the iliac crests
to the symphysis; axial and coronal T1 and T2 fast spin echo sequences through
the scrotum. Optional 0.1-0.4 mmol/kg of
intravenous Gadolinium contrast (up to 20 mL) may be administered, followed by
axial and/or coronal T1 fast spin echo with fat saturation through the
scrotum.
