Tissue characterization of the testes using ultrasonic CT. Work in progress

PH Bland, MA DiPietro, TL Chenevert, RJ Hutchinson and PL Carson

Ultrasonic computed tomography (UCT) can aid in characterizing tissue for the detection and diagnosis of leukemic infiltration of the testes. Preliminary studies in 6 healthy adults and 26 patients (3-20 years old) with leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma suggest that elevated speed of sound in the testis may be an indicator of leukemic infiltration. UCT may become an important screening method for detecting testicular involvement. In long-term follow-up, UCT can be performed more frequently and easily than biopsy, which is the current screening method.
