Summary

the study proposes the use of a new non-invasive ultrasound method for the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction. in particular, the shear Wave elastosonosgraphy of the corpora cavernosa will be used. this last method quantitatively measures the rigidity of the analyzed tissues.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

shear Wave Elastosonography

both the left cavernous body and the right cavernous body are ideally divided longitudinally into three sections: proximal, middle and distal. subsequently for each section of the corpora cavernosa the stiffness of the tissue is calculated by means of a specific Region Of Interest (ROI). the result is expressed in Kilopascals and in a color scale. when registering the stiffness the patient is asked to hold their breath.
