What imaging studies, if any, are recommended for confirming the diagnosis of testicular torsion in a primary care setting?

In a primary care setting, no imaging studies are recommended for confirming the diagnosis of testicular torsion ¹. If testicular torsion is clinically suspected, the recommended action is to arrange emergency hospital admission to urology or paediatric surgery ¹. This is because testicular torsion is considered a urological emergency requiring immediate surgical exploration ¹. Surgical repair should ideally be performed within 4 hours to salvage the testicle ¹.
