Within the past 10 years, the study of erectile function has witnessed a rapid expansion of knowledge. New anatomic and physiologic theories, diagnostic procedures, and treatments have all been developed. As with all new medical concepts, there is active and healthy controversy. The papers reviewed demonstrate an early consensus of opinion for some ideas and a difference of opinion for others. Published ideas and conclusions have been strongly influenced by the incomplete evolution of the diagnostic methods, by patient psychologic inhibition interfering with objective testing, and by particular perspectives of the investigator biasing the final interpretation. This update of the radiologic assessment and therapy of erectile dysfunction presents recently published works and background related to their development.
在过去十年中，勃起功能的研究在知识方面取得了迅速扩展。新的解剖学和生理学理论、诊断程序以及治疗方法都已得到发展。与所有新的医学概念一样，存在着积极且健康的争议。所综述的论文表明，对于某些观点存在早期的共识，而对于其他观点则存在意见分歧。已发表的观点和结论受到诊断方法不完善的演变、患者心理抑制干扰客观测试以及研究者的特定观点使最终解释产生偏差等因素的强烈影响。这篇勃起功能障碍的放射学评估与治疗的更新文章介绍了最近发表的作品及其发展相关的背景。
