A member asked:
Can an ultrasound show cremaster muscle? if not, then what type of scan can?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI: Ultrasound has a problem distinguishing one soft tissue (like muscle) from another (like nerves or tendons or fat or skin). So the cremaster muscle is hard to see on US. A (fat-saturated T2 inversion recovery or fat-sat IR) MRI scan stands a better chance of distinguishing the muscle from other types of tissues in the groin. A CT scan has a chance, but it involves radiation, which is best avoided.
