Overview
Pelvic MRI may be diagnostic of testicular seminoma. On MRI, seminoma is characterized by multinodular tumors of uniform signal intensity. Findings on MRI suggestive of seminoma include hypo- to isointense on T2-weighted images and inhomogenous enhancement on contrast enhanced T1-weighted images.
MRI
- Pelvic MRI may be diagnostic of testicular seminoma.[1]
- On MRI, seminoma is characterized by multinodular tumors of uniform signal intensity.
- Findings on MRI suggestive of seminoma are tabulated below:
| MRI component | Findings |
|---|---|
| T2 | Hypointense to normal testicular tissue |
| T1 with contrast | Inhomogeneous enhancement |
