Overview

Ultrasound findings associated with scrotal masses.It can differentiated extratsticular masses from intratesticular masses.By using Doppler-colored ultrasound ,specifity and sensitivity for testicular tortion will be increased.

Electrocardiography/Ultrasound

Ultrasooound may be helpfull in scrotal masses differential diagnosis, such as testicular tortion,epididimytis,carcinoma and other masses cause. By adding Color -Doppler specifity and sensitivity will increased in testicular tortion diagnosis.

  • findings include:
    • Round or oval vascular leision
    • Heterogenous Echotexture[1]
