Evaluation of Scrotal Lesions by Gray Scale Ultrasonography and Colour Doppler

Abstract

BACKGROUNDUntil the mid 1970's, scrotal examination was limited to palpation and transillumination. Miskin and Bain (1974) first reported the use of Ultrasonography to examine testes and scrotum. With advancement like colour Doppler, ability to assess testicular vascularity increased. Although other radiological investigations have roles in specific situations, present study was undertaken to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of sonography and colour Doppler in scrotal abnormalities.
