Overview

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer.

CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer in case of metastasis.^[1]
CT scan is used to see if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen or chest. It can also check if testicular cancer has spread to the brain.^[2]
