Reduction or dysfunction of the intracavernous smooth muscle fibers can provoke impotence. Computerized digital image analysis of corpus cavernosum biopsies was performed in potent and impotent patients to quantify the percentage of smooth muscle fibers. In 5 normal patients the smooth muscle area represented 40 to 52% of the specimen, in 20 patients with cavernous dysfunction it was 10 to 36% and in 10 patients with arterial disease it was 13 to 25%. This method appears to be important to understand better certain mechanisms of impotence and to approach the potential treatment.
海绵体内平滑肌纤维减少或功能障碍可引发阳痿。对有勃起功能和勃起功能障碍的患者进行海绵体活检的计算机数字图像分析，以量化平滑肌纤维的百分比。5名正常患者的平滑肌面积占标本的40%至52%，20名海绵体功能障碍患者为10%至36%，10名动脉疾病患者为13%至25%。该方法对于更好地理解阳痿的某些机制以及探索潜在治疗方法似乎很重要。
