Can you see sperm on an U/S?

Hi IM's,
Does anyone know if you are able to see sperm on an ultrasound of the testes?

No you can't :) if you're wanting to check out sperm quality they'll send him for a sperm count (hubby did his in the comfort of home and then had to quickly drive it somewhere). The U/S checks for any unusual masses on the testes or for any reason why there may be a low sperm count etc.

No. It will just look like a white circular shape on the screen.
You can't see sperm.
