Testicular torsion Point-based Assessment and Imaging tool - identifying Need for Surgical exploration (TPAINS): a clinical algorithm for detecting testicular torsion

This study concludes that symptom-based evaluation, together with a low threshold for ultrasound, is a promising approach for the detection of TT. The developed algorithm, TPAINS, includes an ultrasound assessment and focuses on safe lower thresholds for further clinical actions - hoping for a reduced rate of unnecessary surgical explorations.
