Color Doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of the acute scrotum.Links Color Doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of the acute scrotum.

Dewire DM, Begun FP, Lawson RK, Fitzgerald S, Foley WD. Department of Urology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to assess 20 patients with the acute onset of scrotal pain. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to the initial clinical impression of the examining physician: ischemia, inflammation or trauma. Color Doppler ultrasonography correctly predicted the need for surgery in 8 of 9 operated patients (89%) and correctly predicted the outcome in all 11 nonoperated patients (100%). The anatomical resolution possible, as well as information regarding blood flow made color Doppler ultrasonography a useful tool in the assessment of acute scrotal processes.
