[Role of MRI tomography in testicular cancer].
Our study demonstrated the high efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of testicular involvement and regional and distant dissemination of tumor to abdominal organs. A single examination made it possible to identify the primary focus, lymph node involvement and gather all information necessary for planning surgery, chemo- and radiation therapy as well as on-line treatment and convalescence monitoring.
