Accurate localization is critical for effective surgical planning. MRI, including Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), offers potential advantages.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective:<\/jats:title>\n To evaluate MRI, particularly with DWI sequences, in identifying non-palpable undescended testes and to compare imaging findings with intraoperative outcomes in Indian pediatric patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n This retrospective study included 32 patients. MRI (T1, T2, DWI sequences) findings were compared with intraoperative observations. Diagnostic accuracy and statistical measures were computed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n MRI correctly localized 29 of 32 testes. Testes appeared hypointense on T1, hyperintense on T2, and showed restricted diffusion on DWI. Sensitivity: 96.7%, Specificity: 100%, PPV: 100%, NPV: 66.7%, Accuracy: 96.9%. The Chi-square test yielded a\n p<\/jats:italic>\n -value of 0.001.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n MRI with DWI significantly aids in UDT localization.
