Abstract title: Elastography and diffusion-weighted MRI in patients with normal, testicular microlithiasis and testicular cancer

Purpose: Today a combination of ultrasonography and elastography is becoming more and more applicable, and both techniques can help to improve an early detection of testicular cancer. Recently, studies have showed higher velocity stiffness in testicular tumours compared with normal testicular tissue. Ultrasound is the primary modality when investigating scrotum, however other modalities and techniques such as diffusion-weighted MRI can be a useful tool in evaluating testicular malignancies. The relationship between velocity stiffness and MRI diffusion is not well established. Our aim was to compare shear wave el…
