Abstract

Penile erection results from a complex interplay between central nerveus system and local factors. Several aspects of these interactions have been the subject of many reviews. Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) monitoring is the best single non-invasive examination to differentiate organic from psychogenic impotence. Angiography and pharmacocevernosometry are accepted as gold standard modalities in the assesment of vasculojenic impotence. Recently color Doppler sonography made the detection of vessels easier and the correction of the Doppler angle more accurate, resulting in more rapid and accurate acquisition of data

Abstract

Penil ereksiyon bir çok klinik araştırmaya konu olacak kadar geniş ve kompleks nörovasküler bir olaydır. Psikojenikorganik impotans ayrımında noktürnal penis tümesansı (NPT), vaskülojenik impotans tanısında anjiografi ve farmakokavernozometri altın standart olarak bilinen yöntemlerdir. Son zamanlarda renkli Doppler sonografi ile küçük damarların görüntülenmesi kolaylaşmış ve Doppler açısının düzeltilmesi ile daha hızlı ve kesin veri elde edilebilmesi mümkün olmuştu

Keywords

Empotans, renkli doppler sonografi
