Several imaging modalities are available for evaluating the patient with acute scrotal pain. Until recently, scintigraphy was the initial procedure of choice in most patients, as it was the only noninvasive technique for determining integrity of blood flow to the testicle. Ultrasound was valuable when the scintiscan was inconclusive or in the setting of scrotal trauma. With the advent of color Doppler sonography, information about both structure and blood flow can be obtained by means of a single imaging study. If initial promising results with this newer technique are borne out, color Doppler is likely to become the primary diagnostic test in patients with acute scrotal pain. The role of MRI and MRS has yet to be defined.
有几种成像方式可用于评估急性阴囊疼痛的患者。直到最近，闪烁扫描在大多数患者中都是首选的初始检查方法，因为它是确定睾丸血流完整性的唯一非侵入性技术。当闪烁扫描结果不明确或在阴囊创伤的情况下，超声检查很有价值。随着彩色多普勒超声的出现，可以通过单一成像研究获得有关结构和血流的信息。如果这种新技术最初的良好结果得到证实，彩色多普勒很可能会成为急性阴囊疼痛患者的主要诊断检查。磁共振成像（MRI）和磁共振波谱（MRS）的作用尚未明确。
