ULTRASOUND
Doppler Scrotum (Testis)
Also Known As:
Doppler for hydrocele / varicocele
Doppler for testicular torsion
Testicular Vascular Doppler
Scrotum Duplex Ultrasound
Scrotal Vascular Doppler
About This Test
Scrotal Doppler ultrasound is a key non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate the testes, epididymis, and surrounding scrotal structures. It combines high-resolution grayscale imaging with color and spectral Doppler to assess both anatomy and blood flow. This examination is essential in the evaluation of acute scrotal pain, suspected testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, trauma, and scrotal masses.Doppler assessment helps differentiate conditions based on vascular patterns. In testicular torsion, absent or significantly reduced intratesticular flow is a critical diagnostic indicator requiring urgent intervention. The study also identifies varicoceles, characterized by dilated veins with augmented flow on Valsalva, and hydroceles or spermatoceles, which appear as fluid collections.Scrotal Doppler is safe, widely available, and provides real-time functional information.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
