Toshiba Xario USG color doppler machine was used for the study. First scan by gray scale ultrasound to see any parenchymal pathology then set color flow to see the changes of perfusion or vascularity. Ethical clearance was taken from the institutional ethical committee prior to the study, informed consent taken and confidentiality was maintained. Results and observations: Mean age was 26.57 years with a standard deviation of 11.88 years in this study with acute scrotal pain. There was increased detection rate of inflammatory lesions and testicular torsion when gray Ultrasonography was combined with doppler. Conclusion: Combination of gray-scale and color Doppler imaging is superior than gray scale imaging in acute scrotal pain.
