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)

  2. You lie on the scanner table; a cushioned coil is placed over the scrotum.
  3. Contrast injection (if mpMRI) through a small IV line.
  4. 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, highLow: tumour/fibrosis; Patchy: inflammation
Vascular flow (mpMRI)Uniform enhancementHyper-vascular: tumour; Poor flow: torsion
Solid massHypointense on T2, enhancesPossible testicular cancer
Cystic lesionHigh T2, no enhancementBenign hydrocele or spermatocele
Varicocele Dilated veins >3 mmMay 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.
