Summary

This study tests a new imaging method using a green dye to see if it can accurately diagnose testicular torsion in children and young people with testicular pain. Currently, most boys with this pain need surgery to check for torsion, but up to 85% do not have it and undergo unnecessary operations. The goal is to see if the dye test can quickly and safely tell who really needs surgery, preventing missed torsions and reducing needless procedures.
