Abstract:

This article systematically explores the key aspects of quality control in reproductive andrology ultrasound, integrating the clinical expertise of Peking University Third Hospital with the latest guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology Scrotal and Penile Imaging Working Group.Unlike routine scrotal ultrasound, which primarily evaluates tumors, inflammation, and other pathologies,reproductive andrology ultrasound focuses on diagnosing male infertility, with particular emphasis on anatomical abnormalities and disorders of spermatogenic and sperm transport pathways.This paper elaborates on standardized examination protocols, including equipment parameter settings, probe selection (primarily high-frequency linear array probes), and standardized scanning protocols for the scrotum, penis, and transrectal prostate.Requirements for image documentation using 2D, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler imaging are detailed, covering testicular volume measurement, varicocele assessment, and erectile dysfunction testing.Furthermore, the article proposes standardized image and reporting guidelines, emphasizing the enhancement of diagnostic accuracy through scientific quality control to meet clinical needs in reproductive medicine.This paper provides practical guidance for optimizing reproductive andrology ultrasound workflows and reducing missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses, and holds significant clinical reference value.
