Multiparametric Ultrasound (mpUS) of a Rare Testicular Capillary Hemangioma

Table 1

Time intensity curve analysis using a ROI within the hemangioma and surrounding testicular tissue.

TIC parameterHemangiomaTesticular tissue

PI (1.0-5 AU)45.63.4
TTP (s)4.24.4
MTT (s)7.010.1
Slope (1.0-5 AU/s)13.01.0
Area (1.0-5 AU/s)2007.9130.0
AreaWI (1.0-5 AU·s)121.39.7
AreaWO (1.0-5 AU·s)1886.6120.3

ROI within the capillary hemangioma demonstrated higher PI, shorter MTT, higher slope, and higher wash-in/wash-out rates compared to regular testicular tissue. Abbreviations: ROI: region of interest; PI: peak intensity; TTP: time to peak; MTT: mean transit time; AreaWI: area wash-in; AreaWO: area wash-out.
