Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasonography is the most appropriate diagnostic imaging study for follow-up in a patient with a palpable nodule in the testes. It is a non-invasive and highly sensitive tool for evaluating testicular masses and allows for the characterization of the morphology and vascularity of the lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are not typically used as first-line imaging for a testicular mass, and intravenous urography is primarily used for evaluating urinary tract abnormalities.
