ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To evaluate the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasonography for epididymitis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>High frequency color Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 42 patients with epididymitis and 21 health volunteers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with control group, epididymis enlarged significantly all in head, body and tail in 92% of patients with epididymitis. Bilateral epididymitis occurred in 73% of patients. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), in patient group, showed the markedly increased flow signals bright in bundle in epididymis. Mild hydroccele of testis and orchitis were companied in most patients(93%). Orchitis was often complicated in the patients with long history.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>High frequency color Doppler ultrasonography can be a preferred exam method and has diagnostic value for epididymitis.</p>
