Department of Radiology, University of Rochester Medical Center, 1600 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY 14642, United StatesFigure 1: A 58-year-old man presenting with abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis demonstrates a fat-containing right inguinal hernia (arrow) with accompanying minimal fluid. This study was performed ten days before the current presentation of the patient.

Figure 3: A 58-year-old male presenting with right scrotal pain. (a) Color-flow Doppler image of the right testis in longitudinal view demonstrates decreased echogenicity of the right testis secondary to ischemic event and complete absence of blood flow. (b) Power Doppler of the right testis demonstrates absence of complete blood flow in the right testis. Spectral Doppler demonstrates noise as evidenced by equal spectral amplitude above and below the baseline. |

Figure 4: A 58-year-old male presenting with right scrotal pain and right inguinal hernia, status-post reduction. (a) Color-flow Doppler examination demonstrates reactive hyperemia of right testis secondary to prior ischemia. (b) Corresponding spectral Doppler confirms the presence of intratesticular blood flow. |
