Discriminating Malignant from Benign Testicular Masses Using Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging-A Prospective Single-Center Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The objective of this study was to prospectively assess the extent to which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can differentiate malignant from benign lesions of the testis. Materials and Methods: All included patients underwent multiparametric testicular MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and subtraction dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Subsequently, all patients underwent a histopathological examination via orchiectomy or testicular biopsy/partial resection. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression were applied for statistical analysis. Results: We included 48 male patients (median age 37.5 years [range 18-69]) with testicular tumors. The median
