title: [Imaging of testicular tumors].
abstract: Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young men and its incidence is increasing. The overall rate of cure can exceed 90% when management is optimal. Ultrasonography for diagnosis and thoraco-abdominal CT for staging are the optimal imaging modalities. In this paper we analyze technical parameters as well as findings and the strategy of examinations in testicular neoplasm.
