title: The value of magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5 T in the evaluation of the scrotal content.
abstract: 50 patients with a broad variety of scrotal disorders were evaluated in form of a prospective study by high-resolution scrotal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5 T with high-resolution surface coils. Basic anatomic correlations to normal structures of the scrotum were studied in 4 fresh cadaver testicles without pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging is sensitive and specific, but time-consuming and expensive.
