Apparent diffusion coefficient values of cryptorchid testes and malignant transformation of cryptorchidism (MTC) (seminoma) in postpubertal patients.
CONCLUSION: ADC values of cryptorchid testes may be used to inform clinical decision-making and also monitor testicular function in patients who retain undescended testicles or post-operatively.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Mean ADC values of cryptorchidism and MTC (seminoma) were used to reflect their pathological features.
