Abstract
Color Doppler ultrasound facilitates investigation of blood flow in addition to imaging parenchymal abnormalities. To assess the clinical use of this technique we evaluated 25 consecutive patients with indications for intrascrotal imaging. Color flow imaging added useful information in all 11 patients evaluated for chronic scrotal pain and in 6 of 7 evaluated for acute scrotal pain. In contrast, color flow ultrasound provided little additional information in 7 patients with intrascrotal masses. Color flow ultrasound imaging is a promising method that may prove to be useful for assessment of selected patients with intrascrotal pathological conditions.
