Contact Thermography in the Diagnosis of Varicocele

  • Conference paper
Varicocele and Male Infertility

Abstract

The value of infrared and contact thermography in the diagnosis of varicoceles is repeatedly stressed [3, 4, 8]. While the technique is reported to be particularly useful for demonstrating so-called subclinical varicoceles, it has equally been employed for monitoring the success of transfemoral testicular vein obliteration [6, 7].
