Varikosel tanısında kullanılan görüntüleme yöntemleri

Öz:
Varikosel erkek infertilitesinin en sık ve düzeltilebilir bir nedenidir.Varikosel tanısında fizik muayene altın standart yöntem olmasına karşınbazı radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemlerinin kullanımı da devam etmektedir.Varikosel tanısı için kullanılan görüntüleme yöntemleri venografi,termografi, sintigrafi, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve difüzyon ağırlıklı manyetikrezonans görüntülemedir. Bu derlemede, görüntüleme yöntemleri ileilgili güncel bilgiler verilecektir.

Imaging methods used in diagnosis of varicocele

Öz:
Varicocele is the most common and correctable cause of male infertility. Although the physical examination is the gold standard method in diagnosis of varicocele, some radiological imaging methods are still in use. Imaging methods used for varicocele diagnosis are venography, thermography, scintigraphy, computed tomography, and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Up-to-date information on radiological imaging methods will be given in this review.
