Summary
This study looked at 160 men with azoospermia (no sperm in their semen) to see if a special PET-CT scan could tell which men would have sperm successfully retrieved from their testicles. The scan measures how active the testicular tissue is. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery for men unlikely to benefit. The study compared scan results between those with successful and unsuccessful sperm extraction.
