The ability to detect and localize sperm in the testes is crucial for the treatment of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), a condition where sperm retrieval is challenging due to the lack of visible sperm.

​

Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of sperm detection can significantly improve the outcomes of sperm extraction surgical procedures in NOA patients.

 

We use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect the presence or absence of sperm in the
testes and to localize sperm-containing seminiferous tubules .
