High-frequency ultrasound shear wave dispersion imaging for male infertility: a pilot study
The viscosity coefficient, dispersion slope, and elasticity all have diagnostic value for NOA. Unlike elasticity, the differential diagnosis of azoospermia by the viscosity coefficient and dispersion slope is not affected by TV. Testicular viscoelasticity can be effectively used in the differential diagnosis of azoospermia, especially in patients with slightly smaller testicles.
