AI-assisted ultrasound for testicular appendix torsion diagnosis
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new computer program that helps doctors read ultrasound images to find testicular appendix torsion (a twist of a tiny piece of tissue near the testicle) in children and teens who have sudden scrotal pain. It aims to see if the program can diagnose it faster and more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or younger.
- You had an ultrasound because of sudden scrotal pain that started within the last 24 hours.
- A doctor has diagnosed you with testicular appendix torsion (a twist of a small piece of tissue near the testicle).
- The ultrasound images must be clear enough to see the testicular structures.
- Your medical records must be complete enough to confirm the testicular appendix torsion diagnosis.

This study tests whether a special ultrasound done in the emergency room can quickly and accurately diagnose testicular torsion (a twisting of the testicle that cuts off blood flow). If you have sudden pain in one testicle, this test may help doctors decide on the right treatment faster.
This study tests a new light-based scanner (called SR-NIRS) to help doctors quickly identify testicular torsion—a twisted testicle that needs emergency surgery. The scanner is painless and might help avoid unnecessary ultrasounds or surgery.
This study checks how well a scoring tool (TWIST) can tell if testicular torsion is likely in adults with sudden scrotal pain. If you have sudden pain in your scrotum, you may be eligible to help test this tool in the emergency room.
This study looks back at teenagers who had surgery for testicular torsion (a twisted testicle) to understand why some waited longer than others before getting help. Learning about these delays may help doctors and families recognize this emergency faster in the future.
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
This trial tests whether using a step-by-step approach to decide which imaging test (CT scan or ultrasound) is best for people with suspected appendicitis, instead of routinely giving everyone a CT scan or ultrasound. It may help avoid unnecessary scans.
