Can I eat before the scan?

Yes for standard MRI. Fast 4–6 hours if contrast is required.

When will I get my MRI Scrotum results?

A radiologist at Cadabams Diagnostics will interpret your images and a formal report will be sent to your referring physician, usually within 1-2 business days. Your physician will then share and discuss these results with you.

When will I get my report?

Same-day digital reports are emailed, and a printed copy is ready before you leave.

MRI Scrotum Overview

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

Imaging Parameters in a Scrotum MRI Scan

Testicular volume & signal intensity
Epididymal morphology
Vascular flow (on mpMRI)
Presence of masses or fluid collections

When to Take Test

Clarify inconclusive ultrasound results
Stage testicular tumours
Assess undescended testis in adults
Evaluate chronic scrotal pain

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

How to Prepare for a Scrotum MRI Scan

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)

Best Time to Take the MRI Scrotum

Morning slots reduce waiting time.
Book within 7 days of doctor’s referral for faster turnaround and priority reporting.

Eligibility

Males 12 years and above
Not suitable for pregnant women (rare indication)

Procedure for Taking an MRI Scrotum

30–45 min scan time.
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.

Risks and Limitations of the MRI Scan of the Scrotum

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.

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
