Imaging with computed tomography is pivotal to patient management but other techniques including magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and plain films are also useful for staging and follow-up. Positron emission tomography with 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose has a growing and unique role in the management of testicular cancer.
