Sonographic Examination of the scrotum is a well established technique in both adult and paediatric patients.

In all scrotal studies assessment by 2D grayscale imaging of the testicular morphology remains crucial, however there is also an important role for Spectral and Color Doppler sonography in assessment of the vascularity of the testes and any pathology identified.

This workshop will discuss;

· Technique for spectral and colour Doppler assessment
· Normal findings
· Strengths and weaknesses of spectral and colour Doppler
· Doppler diagnostic criteria in common testicular pathologies including torsion and orchitis
· The extension of the study to include intra abdominal structures
