| ==Overview==
| |
| Mumps is a clinical diagnosis. Imaging studies do not play a role in the initial diagnosis of mumps. However, imaging studies may be helpful in patients with secondary complications.
| |
|
| |
| ==CT scan==
| |
| *Secondary CNS complications include [[encephalitis]] and [[meningitis]], which may cause [[Intracranial pressure|raised intracranial pressure]]. In such conditions, CT scan without contrast, prior to [[lumbar punture]] may be helpful.
| |
|
| |
| ==Ultrasonography==
| |
| *In case of [[orchitis|acute orchitis]], doppler ultrasound scan of the testicles may help to rule out other potential complications such as [[testicular torsion]].
