Background: Ultrasound is the initial investigation of choice in various scrotal pathologies. This a prospective observational study to assess the role of high frequency ultrasound and colour Doppler in various scrotal pathologies, Material And Method: in this study 100 patients were examined with linear probe (7.5 MHz- 10 MHz) on the Hitachi Arietta 60 .Clinical history and clinical examination finding were recorded over a period of 3 years at Dr. D.Y.Patil medical college and hospital, Pune. Result: Out of 100 patients, 71 (71 %) patients were between age group of 21 to 40years of age. Most common symptom was scrotal pain and discomfort (73 pt-73%). Most common pathology was inflammatory seen in 25 patients (25 %) followed by hydrocoele 22(22%) disease, varicocele 12(12%) and undescended testis (7%). Conclusion: High frequency Ultrasonography and colour Doppler is non-invasive first investigation for assessing of scrotal lesions. Sensitivity of ultrasound to distinguish between solid from cystic masses is very high. It is very helpful to differentiate testicular and extra testicular swelling. Supplementation of colour Doppler increases the sensitivity to diagnose acute scrotal lesions.
