title: [Cavernosography using digital luminescence radiography (DLR) in the diagnosis of venous induced erectile function and of diseases of the corpus cavernosum].
abstract: Dynamic cavernosography is the most important technique for identifying and localizing venous leakage in erectile dysfunction. The use of digital radiography with a greater degree of tolerance in the exposure, a more dynamic signal, and a shorter exposure time can enhance the diagnostic value of conventional cavernosography. A further advantage of the method is the lower dosage required, which means that the gonads are exposed to less radiation. For 30 patients with erectile dysfunction and 7 other cases, conventional cavernosography images were compared with those obtained by this new method. The advantages of digital radiography are discussed.
