Scrotal inflammation, such as epididymitis or orchitis, typically presents with increased blood flow (hyperemia) on color Doppler sonography. This finding reflects the inflammatory process and vascular dilation. Abscesses, granulomas, or hydroceles may be present but are not as consistent or specific for inflammation.

According to AIUM Practice Parameters and Rumack’s Diagnostic Ultrasound:

“In acute inflammation, color Doppler ultrasound demonstrates prominent hyperemia of the epididymis or testis.”
