(Top) Transverse grayscale ultrasound shows both testes. This is a useful approach for comparing the appearance of the testes, which
should have similar, homogeneous, medium-level, granular echotexture. (Bottom) Transverse color Doppler ultrasound of the testes is
shown. It is important to compare the flow between testes to determine if the symptomatic side has increased or decreased flow, when
compared to the asymptomatic side. This approach also helps to globally evaluate edema, a hematoma, or an abnormality in the scrotal
wall.
