A member asked:

Can mri evaluate cremaster muscle pull/tear/inflammation?or is this still beyond the reach of 21st century humans?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult: The resolution of MRI is poor. You can see inflammation, but being able to definitively localize it to the cremaster muscle would be difficult.
