Service Providers for MRI of Undescending Testis
An MRI of an undescended testis is used to evaluate the position and structure of a testis that has not descended into the scrotum, a condition known as cryptorchidism. The MRI helps to identify whether the testis is located in the abdomen, inguinal canal, or if it is absent. It also assesses any associated abnormalities, such as torsion or tumors. The procedure involves high-resolution imaging, typically using T1 and T2-weighted sequences to get detailed images of the pelvic and abdominal regions. No special preparation is required, but the patient may be asked to avoid eating before the scan. MRI provides valuable information for surgical planning or further management.
