Abstract: Objective To explore the application value of color Doppler ultrasound in patients with azoospermia who underwent testicular needle biopsy. Methods Retrospective analysed the clinical data of 53 cases patients with azoospermia from 2012 November to 2015 February in our department.All patients underwent routine scrotal ultrasonography, to detecte the peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistance index (RI) of testicular artery (TA)and intratesticular artery (ITA)with spectral Doppler ultrasound. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to observe the distribution and the number of blood vessels in the testicle, and semi quantitative score. All patients underwent testicular biopsy and Johnsen score. Results 47 patients were diagnosed as obstructive azoospermia(OA), 6 patients were diagnosed as non obstructive azoospermia(NOA). The average volume of testis was (15.3±3.6)mL in 0A group. The average volume of testis was (7.1±2.8) mL in N0A group.There was significant difference (P<0.01). The blood flow parameters(PSV, EDV, RI) results between OA group and NOA group have obvious difference,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The semi quantitative classification of testicular vessels between OA group and NOA group have obvious difference,the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.01). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound is a good predictor of testicular spermatogenic function, can be used as the identification index of patients with OA and patients with NOA.
