Color Doppler sonography in the evaluation of erectile dysfunction Fitzgerald SW; Erickson SJ; Foley WD; Lipchik EO; Lawson TLRadiographics 1992[Jan]; 12 (1): 3-17; discussion 18-9Color Doppler sonography can be useful in the evaluation of erectile dysfunction, which can result from psychogenic, endocrinologic, neurogenic, pharmacologic, and vasogenic causes. It is used to determine the integrity of the vascular mechanism. After an intracavernosal injection of a vasodilatory agent, color Doppler sonography is performed to evaluate cavernosal arteries and dorsal vessels. Color flow imaging allows direct visualization of intrapenile anatomy, vascular variants, and disease. It is also helpful in demonstrating transitions in cavernosal and dorsal blood flow. Color Doppler sonography is combined with spectral interrogation of the cavernosal arteries and dorsal veins to help determine peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities. Cavernosal artery size and systolic velocities help diagnose arterial insufficiency. Recent work on cavernosal artery diastolic flow and dorsal vein flow has indicated that color Doppler sonography, when correlated with cavernosographic findings, may be helpful in diagnosing venous incompetence. Temporal variations in transitions in cavernosal artery and dorsal vein flow during various stages of erection are important in the accurate diagnosis of vasogenic impotence.|Color[MESH]|Doppler Effect[MESH]|Erectile Dysfunction/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Penile Erection/physiology[MESH]|Penis/*blood supply/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Ultrasonography[MESH] |
