“…Nye et al, 2 in a study of testicular blood flow, showed that there is a significant difference in the pulsatility index, resistivity index and testicular size before and after hydrocoele repair. Mihmanli et al 3 published a case report documenting absence of diastolic blood flow prior to hydrocoele repair that was reversed post-procedure.…”

“…The mean percentage of postoperative decreases in the RI and PI values were approximately 21% and 36%, respectively. Nye and Prati [17] presented a case in which they evaluated spectral waveform characteristics of a capsular testicular artery after aspiration of the hydrocele fluid. Similar to our results, no diastolic flow was present before the aspiration, but after aspiration, antegrade diastolic flow was seen.…”

“…1 Acute onset of hydrocele may result in increased intratesticular arterial resistance; this pattern normally resolves once the hydrocele subsides (external pressure is removed; Figure 7). 10 It is important to recognize this pattern because it mimics acute torsion.…”

Objective. To illustrate how spectral Doppler waveform analysis plays an adjunctive but very definite role in scrotal sonography. Methods. The cases illustrate a variety of testicular disorders that were collected at a referral tertiary care center. Results. Normal and a variety of pathologic conditions of the testes are discussed, along with their signature spectral waveforms. Conclusions. Analysis of the spectral waveform provides important additional information in various scrotal disorders with acute pain. Spectral waveform analysis is critical to diagnosing incomplete torsion when color and power Doppler examinations are indeterminate. Key words: arteriovenous malformation; varicocele; epididymoorchitis; resistive index; spectral Doppler sonography; testis; torsion. onography is the primary modality for evaluating scrotal disorders. Color, power, and spectral Doppler sonography are extensively used for evaluating patients with a painful scrotum. 1-3 Frequency spectrum analysis is an essential element of vascular sonography. Sonographers and sonologists should be familiar with the various subtle variations in spectral waveforms and the enormous amount of information provided by this technique. The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate how spectral waveform analysis plays an adjunctive but very definite role in scrotal sonography. Normal Spectral Doppler CharacteristicsThe spermatic cord contains the testicular artery, the artery to the vas deferens, and the cremasteric artery supplying blood to the testis, epididymis, and scrotal wall, respectively. In descending order, they arise from the abdominal aorta, superior vesicle artery, and inferior epigastric artery. 1,4 Proper interpretation of velocity waveforms requires an understanding of the normal waveform characteristics of a given vessel and of the physiologic status of the circulation subtended by the vessel. The normal spectral waveform of the testicular artery and artery supplying the epididymis is a lowresistance, high-flow pattern (Figure 1), whereas that of the cremasteric artery supplying the scrotal wall has a high-resistance, low-flow pattern (Figure 2). 5,6
