Resolution: standard / high Figure 3.
Longitudinal scan of a patient's left testis. Upper left: A medium sized para-testicular
worm nest (arrow) is presented in this b-mode image. Upper right: The following m-mode
section is positioned at the location of the largest diameter of the worm nest. The
corresponding video image can be seen as 7: Movie3A.mpg. Middle left: The same worm nest as above. Middle right: The Colour
Doppler-mode presents very few red signals as sign of less lymphatic fluid moved by
the adult worms in this dilated lymphatic vessel. The corresponding video image can
be seen as 8: Movie3B.mpg. Lower left: The same worm nest as above. The caliper for the PWD is
positioned where the worm nest is located. Lower right: The Pulse Wave Doppler-mode
confirms the medium sized worm nest by the irregular undulating band caused by the
typical movements of the adult worms. The corresponding video image can be seen as
9: Movie3C.mpg.
