Overview
Other diagnostic studies for germinoma include PET scan.[1]
Other Imaging Findings
Studies have reported that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET(FDG-PET) was able to detect the presence of germinomas while 11C-methionine PET (MET-PET) can help define tumor contour to plan for biopsy or surgery.[1]
