The diagnosis and treatment of azoospermia rely heavily on auxiliary ex-amination technology. Compared with CT and MRI, ultrasound has more practical value in the diagnosis of azoospermia.Currently, the main ultrasonic technologies are contrast-enhanced ultrasound, real-time ultrasound elastography and ultrasound tar-geted puncture. This article aims to summarize and prospect the application of new ultrasound technology in azoospermia.Real-time ultrasound elastography is widely used in breast diseases and is expected to play a greater role in azoospermia. Ultra-sound targeted puncture can greatly reduce the damage of testicular spermatogenic function, but its application is still not widely used.The combined application of new technologies can make up for their respective shortcomings and improve the accuracy of azoospermia diagnosis.Therefore, further research on new ultrasound technology in the diagnosis of azoospermia will play a greater role.
