Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common medical condition that has a high prevalence and incidence worldwide and may have a significant impact on both physical and psychosocial health. The purpose of this article is to review the role of penile Doppler sonography in the assessment of ED. CONCLUSION. Penile Doppler sonography is an essential tool for differentiating between vascular and nonvascular causes of ED; therefore, radiologists must be familiar with the imaging protocol, the limitations of the technique, and interpretation of its findings, to warrant an accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.Entities:
