title: [Radiologic diagnosis of erectile dysfunction].
abstract: Possibilities of radiological cooperation in diagnostics and therapy of erectile dysfunction are demonstrated. Besides SKAT-testing and pharmaco-duplex-sonography, pharmaco-cavernosometry and cavernosography procure the decisive confirmation of venous leakage. The veins which are not compressable during erection can eventually be obliterated under radiological control with the help of mini-coils. Pelvic and penile arteriography are mandatory for the localization of arterial obliterations which can be treated either surgically or by angioplasty. The value of interventional radiological measures in the arterial region can be clearly substantiated in common iliac and internal iliac stenoses. However, the results obtained in the venous region by occluding interventional measures have yet to be evidenced by systematic examinations, as the surgical treatment has not shown much success up to now.
