This document provides an overview of ultrasound imaging indications and findings for scrotal diseases. It discusses acute scrotum conditions like infection and torsion, palpable masses that can be intra- or extra-testicular, and infertility evaluations. Key points covered include Doppler ultrasound features of epididymo-orchitis, stages of testicular torsion, characteristics of seminoma and non-seminoma tumors, varicocele assessment, and emerging technologies like elastography.
