Main Article Content

Abstract

Purpose: Describe the imaging features of testicular germ cell tumors on magnetic resonance. Material and method:A retrospective study was performed on 54 testicular germ cell tumors patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before treatment at Binh Dan hospital from January 2019 to May 2022. Results: MRI features of testicular germ cell tumors include iso or mixed signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging, low or mixed signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging, strong and heterogeneous enhancement, presence of hemorrhage or necrosis, ADC values ​​are lower than that of testicular tissue. Conclusion: MRI is a useful method to support the diagnosis of testicular germ cell tumors.
