Multiparametric Ultrasound (mpUS) of a Rare Testicular Capillary Hemangioma

Figure 2

Elastographic assessment of the tumor lesion using 2D shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography. (a) 2D shear wave elastography demonstrates higher and more inhomogenous stiffness of the tumor lesion (4.24 m/s) compared to the surrounding testicular tissue (1.49 m/s) with a SWE ratio of 2.85. (b) Tumor lesion represents blue (hard) in color-coded strain elastography compared to the surrounding testicular tissue (green-blue) presented by less compression capability indicating higher stiffness of the tumor. Abbreviations: SWE: shear wave elastography.
