title: Imaging studies for germ cell tumors.
abstract: Imaging plays an important role in the management of patients with testicular germ cell tumors. This article reviews the role of imaging in the diagnosis, staging, and posttreatment restaging of these patients. CT remains the main radiologic technique used, although ultrasound, MRI, and positron emission tomography also have specific roles in the clinical management of these patients.
