Testes and scrotum: MR imaging at 1.5 T

D Seidenwurm, RL Smathers, RK Lo, CL Carrol, J Bassett and AR Hoffman

Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the scrotum were obtained at 1.5 T in 20 subjects, 13 patients with intrascrotal pathologic conditions and seven healthy subjects. Characteristic MR imaging signals obtained on T1- and T2-weighted images allowed differentiation of testis from epididymis and spermatic cord. Masses were differentiated from normal testicular parenchyma in all cases. Atrophic or ischemic testes had lower signal intensity than normal testes on T2-weighted images. Hematoma displayed a characteristic high intensity on both T1- and T2- weighted images. Intratesticular and extratesticular pathologic conditions were readily differentiated. These results suggest that MR imaging is useful in the diagnosis of scrotal and testicular abnormalities.
