Testicular torsion is a time-critical urological emergency in which every minute matters. Can you confidently recognise the sonographic signs before irreversible testicular ischaemia occurs?

In this premium Medical Ultrasound Academy presentation, we explore the essential ultrasound features of testicular torsion, including:

✅ Absent or markedly reduced intratesticular blood flow
✅ Comparison with the contralateral testis
✅ The whirlpool sign of the twisted spermatic cord
✅ Testicular enlargement and heterogeneous echotexture
✅ Reactive hydrocele and scrotal wall thickening
✅ Partial, intermittent and complete torsion
✅ Important scanning techniques and Doppler settings
✅ Common diagnostic pitfalls and mimics
✅ When urgent surgical referral is required

This presentation is designed for sonographers, radiographers, radiologists, emergency clinicians, medical students and healthcare professionals involved in evaluating acute scrotal pain.

⚠️ **Clinical reminder:** A normal or partially preserved Doppler signal does not always exclude early, partial or intermittent torsion. Ultrasound findings must be interpreted together with the clinical presentation, and surgical assessment should never be delayed when suspicion remains high.
