The results obtained from a continuous series of 48 patients have been critically appraised. The report of the diaphanoscopy appeared pathognomonic only in the event of hyper-diaphanous cystic formation and of varicocele. In all other types of pathology the report was aspecific, requiring a knowledge of the clinical picture for its interpretation, and sometimes absent (neoplasia in the initial phase). For these reasons the diaphanoscopy of the scrotum may be considered as part of a clinical examination and not as a complete (self sufficient) experimental examination.
对连续48例患者的检查结果进行了严格评估。透光检查报告仅在出现高透光性囊性结构和精索静脉曲张时才具有特征性。在所有其他病理类型中，该报告缺乏特异性，需要结合临床症状进行解读，有时甚至无异常表现（如肿瘤的初始阶段）。基于这些原因，阴囊透光检查可被视为临床检查的一部分，而非一项完整的（独立的）实验性检查。
