X-ray examination of male reproductive system

X-ray examination of the male reproductive system is mainly used to check the seminal tract, including the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and ejaculatory ducts. The testicles are oval in shape and located inside the scrotum. The epididymis is actually a continuous part of the testis. It is a semicircular body attached to the outer part of the testicle, and it is divided into three parts: the head, the body, and the tail. The vas deferens is a direct continuation of the epididymal tail, with a total length of 30-40 cm and a transverse diameter of 3 mm. It is sent from the medial epididymis to the inguinal canal, and then rises along the inner wall of the pelvic cavity, then extends inward to the bottom of the bladder and stretches the ampulla. The vas deferens continues as an ejaculation tube, opening in the posterior urethral sperm. The seminal vesicle is a small cystic organ located above the prostate between the bladder and rectum, with the vas deferens ampulla inside. The bottom of the seminal vesicle is slightly wider and the lower end is small.
