Diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tractography of the epididymis in men with non‐obstructive azoospermia
Our preliminary observations showed that diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tractography of the epididymis provide valuable, non-invasive biomarkers in the work-up of non-obstructive azoospermia, although the clinical significance of these findings is yet to be determined. However, diffusion tensor imaging data were not predictive for the presence of spermatozoa before microdissection testicular sperm extraction.
