Why This Test

What Is a Scrotum Ultrasound Scan?

Definition & Imaging Technology Used

A scrotum ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding tissues. No radiation is involved.

Difference from Testicular Ultrasound Terminology

While “testicular ultrasound” focuses on the testes, the scrotum ultrasound scan evaluates the entire scrotal contents—testes, epididymis, spermatic cord, and any fluid collections—giving a more complete picture.

Types of Scrotum Ultrasound Scan
