*'''<span style="color:#ff0000">Options (2):</span>'''
*#'''<span style="color:#ff0000">Ultrasound (preferred)</span>'''
*#* '''Preferred over MRI because it is rapid, readily available, noninvasive, inexpensive, and accurate'''
*#* Most useful for ruling out fracture in patients with low clinical suspicion or to identify the location of the tear, potentially guiding the choice of incision
*# '''<span style="color:#ff0000">Penile-perineal MRI</span>'''
*#* '''<span style="color:#ff0000">Most accurate test</span>'''
*#* '''Can be considered if ultrasound equivocal to prevent unnecessary surgical exploration'''.
