The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in evaluating incidental focal testicular lesions in epididymitis. Intratesticular lesions ipsilateral to epididymitis were subject to B-mode color Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, with th...
