U/S testes: A radiologist is a physician specialist who can read u/s as good as a urologist can. If there is a question about diagnosis they consult with each other. A sonographer is a technician that performs the ultrasound with or without the radiologist present, some of them will make comments of things they see while performing the test but that is not an official diagnosis. You do not mention the dx.

Could be: Any doctor could be wrong on any diagnostic exam. Radiologists are the physicians who interpret scrotal ultrasounds, but they are limited by the images provided by the sonographer.
