23. Female and Male Genital Tract

Both female and male genital tracts are adequately demonstrated using ultrasound techniques either transabdominally, via the vagina/rectum, or directly as is the case of the testes. Additional information is provided by MRI, which demonstrates the anatomy in more detail. Specific contrast investigations such as the hysterosalpingogram are still in use as is the cavernosogram. Vascular anatomy is demonstrated with ultrasound, angiography, and multidetector CT. The genital system is also imaged incidentally during CT examinations but CT is not primarily used for this purpose.
