No clinical evidence of either of them. Ultrasound report in favour of appendicitis

I agree with Dr Deepthi , as per the clinical scenario with scrotal tenderness very first to r/o torsion . Its unusual to have scrotal tenderness due to appendicitis. Did radiologist put the prob on scrotum to r/o testicular causes including orchitis or epididymitis??
CT is a definitely good option to confirm abdominal cause.
