Since 1986, 205 patients, age 2-84 years, mean age 33 years, with scrotal pathology were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 1.5-T Siemens Magnetom and specially designed external coils were used for obtaining T1- and T2-weighted images. Of these, 88 patients underwent MRI studies for suspicion of testicular cancer, and 117 for a variety of benign scrotal lesions. MRI studies yielded excellent diagnostic information of scrotal pathology: predictive value for diagnosing testicular cancer was 100% with 62% of correct differentiation between seminoma and non-seminomatous tumors. In future, the incidence of diagnostic surgical explorations of scrotal pathology can be reduced by MRI studies.
自1986年以来，对205例年龄在2至84岁（平均年龄33岁）患有阴囊病变的患者进行了磁共振成像（MRI）检查。使用1.5-T西门子Magnetom和专门设计的外部线圈来获取T1加权和T2加权图像。其中，88例患者因怀疑患有睾丸癌接受了MRI检查，117例因各种良性阴囊病变接受检查。MRI检查为阴囊病变提供了出色的诊断信息：诊断睾丸癌的预测价值为100%，精原细胞瘤与非精原细胞瘤之间的正确区分率为62%。未来，MRI检查可降低阴囊病变诊断性手术探查的发生率。
