[Role of ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotum].

Forty-five patients with acute scrotal disorders underwent gray-scale and color-Doppler ultrasonography. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of the US in order to distinguish inflammatory diseases from testicular torsion. Gray-scale with color-Doppler US allows for evaluation of morphologic findings and perfusion and enables accurate diagnosis of most scrotal disorders especially in the earlier clinical observations.
