CHAPTER 22 The Scrotum 849

FIG. 22.32 Spectral Doppler Changes in Orchitis. (A) Uncomplicated orchitis. Longitudinal scan with spectral Doppler tracing shows

increased diastolic low in the testis. (B) Orchitis with venous compromise. Longitudinal scan with spectral Doppler tracing in more severe

orchitis shows reversal of low in diastole caused by edema impeding venous low.

FIG. 22.33 Heterogeneous “Striped” Testis. Transverse dual image shows heterogeneity in the right testis with marked septal accentuation

from previous orchitis. This appearance may also be seen after ischemia.

FIG. 22.34 Fibrosis of Testis After Orchitis. Pathologic specimen of testis

shows linear bands of ibrosis (white areas) caused by previous severe orchitis.

A similar “end-stage” testis could have this appearance due to ischemia.
