Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Appearance of an Apparently Small Testis with a Prominent Epididymis Srinivas KudavellyRama Raju GA<p>Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound may complement conventional scrotal imaging by displaying the testis and epididymis within a single reconstructed volume. We present a volume-rendered 3D ultrasound image obtained during the infertility evaluation of an adult male. Scrotal imaging was performed using a Samsung Medison ultrasound system with an LV3-14A linear transducer. Following standard two-dimensional assessment, a volumetric dataset was acquired and reconstructed using multiplanar and volume-rendering modes. The image demonstrated an apparently small ovoid testis with a disproportionately prominent, elongated epididymis along its posterior aspect. This appearance provided an intuitive representation of the size discordance and anatomical relationship between the two structures. However, the finding is descriptive rather than diagnostic because quantitative measurements and Doppler information were not available. Interpretation should therefore be correlated with grayscale and color Doppler imaging, clinical history, semen analysis, and hormonal evaluation. Further studies are needed to determine whether quantitative 3D measurements improve male infertility assessment.&nbsp;</p> Open Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics - Peertechz Publications 2026-08-28 Clinical Image https://doi.org/10.17352/ojpp.000031 en Copyright © Srinivas Kudavelly et al.
