IntroductionNon-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) represents the most severe form of male infertility. Current clinical tools have limited ability to predict sperm production or guide surgical sperm retrieval. Conventional B-mode ultrasound provides qualitative grayscale images and cannot characterize testicular microstructure relevant to spermatogenesis. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) provides objective parameters from raw radiofrequency data, which quantitatively measure tissue heterogeneity. We hy...
