The use of liquid crystal thermography (LCT) of the testicles in diagnosis of infertility was investigated. Varicocele, the most common cause of male infertility, is easily detectable by LCT. The technique may be used as a control after surgical treatment. In the majority of patients with oligo-azoospermia, LCT corresponded to physical examination of the testicles. In patients with oligo-azoospermia and both testicles normal to palpation, LCT is useful method for determining the colder testicle for biopsy purposes.
研究了使用睾丸液晶热成像（LCT）诊断不孕症的情况。精索静脉曲张是男性不育最常见的原因，通过LCT很容易检测到。该技术可在手术治疗后用作对照。在大多数少精子症和无精子症患者中，LCT与睾丸的体格检查结果相符。对于少精子症和无精子症且触诊时双侧睾丸正常的患者，LCT是确定活检时较冷睾丸的有用方法。
