Detection of varicocele by radionuclide blood-pool scanning

Conference · · Radiology; (United States)
OSTI ID:7028769
Varicocele is a common and treatable cause of male subfertility. The authors describe a new technique for varicocele detection using radionuclide blood-pool imaging of the scrotum. The results indicate that this technique detects unilateral varicoceles with high sensitivity, including some which are subclinical. There may be significant implications for treatment of infertility.
