Diffusion-Weighted MRI Can Detect Nonpalpable Undescended Testes Diagnostic Performance of Diffusion-Weighted MRI in the Detection of Nonpalpable Undescended Testes: Comparison With Conventional MRI and Surgical Findings
Participants/Methods: This study was comprised of 36 boys with undescended testes. The patients underwent preoperative MR imaging examinations with a 1.5-T system. Sequences included axial and coronal fat-suppressed turbo spin-echo T2-weighted, axial and coronal T1-weighted, and axial single-shot spin-echo echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence performed with b-values of 50, 400,...

It is normal and will descend when relaxed and warm, or it can be manipulated back into the scrotum. Retractile testes do not need any treatment but do need close follow-up until puberty, as they can beco...
