Shear-wave elastography of the testicle: potential role of the stiffness value in various common testicular diseases.

•Real-time SWE is a feasible technique in the exploration of testicular parenchyma.•SWE is not a time consuming process without impact on the workflow.•The stiffness value can be used to distinguish fibrosis from a tumoral process.•The reference for normal value is dependent of the type of elastography software.
