Optimizing optical coherence tomography to detect occult spermatozoa in rat testis after induced non-obstructive azoospermia
By providing high-resolution, non-invasive, automatic capture, and color-coded images, OCT has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of identification of tubules with spermatozoa during micro-TESE.
