The above paper was aimed at defining the usefulness of MRI in the study of pathologies involving the penis. Disorders considered include Peyronie's disease, fibrosis of the penis, priapism, trauma, congenital anomalies, and tumors. In Peyronie's disease and in fibrosis of the penis, MRI permits to demonstrate the abnormal thickening of tunica albuginea and erectile tissue; after administration of gadolinium, it becomes possible in some cases to demonstrate plaques of the albuginea that are not palpable. In priapism, MRI is useful both for identifying the cause and for assessing the time elapsed since blood extravasation. In traumatic and congenital pathologies, MRI is essential for the acquisition of all information on anatomy that may be useful for selecting the most suitable surgical therapy. In neoplastic pathology, MRI has proved useful for accurately assessing the extension of lesions involving the basis of the penis.
上述论文旨在确定MRI在涉及阴茎的病理学研究中的作用。所考虑的疾病包括佩罗尼氏病、阴茎纤维化、阴茎异常勃起、创伤、先天性畸形和肿瘤。在佩罗尼氏病和阴茎纤维化中，MRI能够显示白膜和勃起组织的异常增厚；注射钆对比剂后，在某些情况下有可能显示触诊不到的白膜斑块。在阴茎异常勃起中，MRI对于确定病因和评估血液外渗后的时间都很有用。在创伤性和先天性病变中，MRI对于获取所有可能有助于选择最合适手术治疗的解剖学信息至关重要。在肿瘤病理学中，MRI已被证明对于准确评估涉及阴茎根部的病变范围很有用。
