The painful scrotum: An ultrasonographical approach to diagnosis

Many disease processes, including inflammation, testicular torsion, testicular trauma, and testicular cancer, may have a similar clinical presentation as a painful scrotum. Differentiation of these disease processes is important for proper management. High-resolution ultrasonography (US) combined wi...

High-resolution ultrasonography (US) combined with colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) is the imaging modality of choice in evaluating these patients.
