Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of strain elastography (SE)of testicular tissues in infertile population. We also evaluated the correlation between SE results with semenparameters and hormone profiles of the patients.Material and methods: A total of 61 patients and 122 testes were evaluated. Patients who were evaluatedin an andrology outpatient clinic with the diagnosis of infertility and referred to radiology department forinvestigation of reproductive organs between June 2015 and January 2016 were included. Patients were dividedinto two groups according to semen analyses results as normal (Group 1) and abnormal (Group 2). Hormoneprofiles, semen analyses, B-mode, coloured Doppler ultrasonography and sonoelastography examinations wereperformed for each patient. Measurements of testicular volumes, resistive indices (RI) in intraparenchymalarteries, strain, strain ratio (SR) and presence of varicocele were recorded.Results: Mean age of participants was 33.7±6.3 years. Mean testicular volumes (Group 1, 19.41±4.8 mL, andGroup 2, 17.64±3.62 mL) were significantly different between groups (p=0.023). Mean SRs were also differentbetween Groups 1 and 2 (0.12±0.08 vs. 0.22±0.18, p

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı infertil erkeklerde testis dokusunun strain elastografi ile değerlendirilmesi ve katılımcıların semen parametreleri ile hormon profillerinin strain elastografi ile korelasyonunun incelenmesidir. Gereç ve yöntemler: Toplam 61 katılımcı ve 122 testis değerlendirilmiştir. Haziran 2015-Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında infertilite nedeni ile androloji polikliniğinde değerlendirilen ve radyolojik inceleme yapılan erkekler çalışmaya alınmıştır. Hastalar semen analizi parametrelerine göre normal (grup 1) ve anormal (grup 2) olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Hastaların semen analizi dışında hormon profilleri, b-mod, renkli Doppler ve sonoelastografik değerlendirmeleri yapıldı. Ek olarak tüm hastaların testis hacimleri, intraparankimal arterlerde rezistif indeks (Rİ), strain, strain indeksi (Sİ) ve varikosel varlığı kaydedildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 33,7±6,3 yıldı. Ortalama testis hacimleri grup 1'de 19,41±4,8 mL ve grup 2'de 17,64±3,62 mL idi ve bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p=0,023). Yine ortalama strain oranları grup 1 ve grup 2 arasında anlamlı farklılık gösterdi (0,12±0,08'e karşı 0,22±0,18, p
