Erectile dysfunction has been defined by the National Institutes of Health as the inability to achieve and/or to maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It may result from psychological or organic causes. With the advent of oral pharmacotherapy, the diagnostic approach has significantly changed over the past decade. The number of patients examined at the radiology clinics has also been decreased. However, evaluation by imaging modalities, such as color Doppler ultrasound, cavernosography, and angiography, still remains the cornerstone of the diagnostic workup of the patients with erectile dysfunction. The aim of this review was to focus briefly on the penile anatomy, the pathophysiology of erection, and radiological techniques for investigating vascular causes of erectile dysfunction and findings on different radiological methods.
美国国立卫生研究院将勃起功能障碍定义为无法实现和/或维持足以进行满意性交的勃起。它可能由心理或器质性原因引起。随着口服药物治疗的出现，在过去十年中诊断方法发生了显著变化。在放射科诊所接受检查的患者数量也有所减少。然而，诸如彩色多普勒超声、海绵体造影和血管造影等成像方式的评估，仍然是勃起功能障碍患者诊断检查的基石。这篇综述的目的是简要聚焦于阴茎解剖结构、勃起的病理生理学、用于研究勃起功能障碍血管原因的放射学技术以及不同放射学方法的检查结果。
