Noninvasive Prediction of Sperm Retrieval Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Patients with Nonobstructive Azoospermia

Noninvasive Prediction of Sperm Retrieval Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Patients with Nonobstructive Azoospermia

Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) is the first-line treatment plan for nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). However, studies reported that the overall sperm retrieval rate (SRR) was 43% to 63% among men with NOA, implying that nearly half of the patients fail sperm retrieval. This stu...
