STUDY OF CAVERNOSAL ARTERIAL ANATOMY USING COLOR AND POWER DOPPLER SONOGRAPHY: IMPACT ON HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETER MEASUREMENT

Abstract

Cavernosal arterial anatomy is variable and hemodynamic parameters differ at various sites of measurement. Parameters should be measured at a consistent proximal site to obtain a reliable assessment. Variations in vascular anatomy and cavernosal artery pathology should be considered when interpreting color Doppler sonography and before penile vascular surgery.
