About The Test
- Quick definition: A non-invasive scan that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed 3D images of the scrotum, testicles, and surrounding structures.
- Purpose: Detect tumours, inflammation, torsion, or causes of male infertility.
- Why Cadabams? 3T MRI technology, experienced radiologists, and zero-radiation scans—all under one roof.
List of Parameters
- Testicular volume & signal intensity
- Epididymal morphology
- Vascular flow (on mpMRI)
- Presence of masses or fluid collections
Why This Test
- Clarify inconclusive ultrasound results
- Stage testicular tumours
- Assess undescended testis in adults
- Evaluate chronic scrotal pain
When to Take Test
Benefits
Benefits of a Scrotum MRI Radiology Scan
- High-resolution 3D images
- Soft-tissue contrast superior to ultrasound
- Guides surgery or biopsy decisions
- Same-day digital reports at Cadabams
Conditions Diagnosed with an MRI of the Scrotum Scan
| Condition | How MRI Helps |
|---|---|
| Testicular cancer | Accurate staging & tumour characterisation |
| Epididymo-orchitis | Detects inflammation and abscesses |
| Varicocele | Maps dilated veins |
| Testicular torsion | Identifies sequelae after torsion |
| Hydrocele & spermatocele | Shows fluid collections precisely |
Preparing for test
- Fasting: 4–6 hours if contrast is planned.
- Metal screening: Fill a short questionnaire.
- Clothing: Wear metal-free, comfortable attire.
Pre-requisites
- Doctor’s prescription
- Recent creatinine test if contrast is used
- Insurance pre-authorisation (optional)

Eligibility
- Males 12 years and above
- Not suitable for pregnant women (rare indication)
Procedure for Taking an MRI Scrotum

- You lie on the scanner table; a cushioned coil is placed over the scrotum.
- Contrast injection (if mpMRI) through a small IV line.
- Breath-hold instructions for motion-free images.
Caution Before Taking the Test
- Remove all metallic objects (watches, belts, jewellery).
- Inform the technologist about tattoos—some inks contain metallic pigments.
- Sedation options available for claustrophobia.
Test Results
Results and Interpretations
| Condition/Findings | Description | General Interpretation / Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Signal intensity (T2) | Homogeneous, high | Low: tumour/fibrosis; Patchy: inflammation |
| Vascular flow (mpMRI) | Uniform enhancement | Hyper-vascular: tumour; Poor flow: torsion |
| Solid mass | Hypointense on T2, enhances | Possible testicular cancer |
| Cystic lesion | High T2, no enhancement | Benign hydrocele or spermatocele |
| Varicocele | Dilated veins >3 mm | May affect fertility |
Risks & Limitations
- No radiation risk—ideal for younger patients.
- Claustrophobia: Inform us; open-bore or mild sedation options available.
- Contra-indications: Pacemakers, cochlear implants, or certain metallic implants.
- Cost slightly higher than ultrasound, but justified by superior diagnostic accuracy.
