In Group 1 (sham-control group), the left testicle was kept outside and replaced. Left testicles were kept outside and twisted 360\u00b0 in Group 2, 720\u00b0 in Group 3 and 1080\u00b0 in Group 4. Later, DWI was performed at 8th and 24th hours. After DWI, bilateral radical orchiectomy and histopathological examination were performed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were obtained with b-factors of 0 and 800\u2009s\u2009mm\u22122. Comparisons of ADC values and damage in testicles were performed with Kruskal\u2013Wallis test.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Sensitivity of DWI in the diagnosis of TT was 12.5% for 360\u00b0 torsion, 100% for 720\u00b0 torsion and 1080\u00b0 torsion at the 8th hour of torsion. Mean ADC values of the left testicles increased significantly at the 24th hour of torsion in Groups 3 and 4. All testicles in Groups 3 and 4 were observed to be irrecoverable on histopathological examination.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Increased ADC values in the affected testicle may represent irreversible tissue damage.
