[Role of prostaglandin E1 determination in dynamic penile Doppler color ultrasonography: retrospective study of 900 patients].
Eco colorDoppler flowmetry greatly increased the knowledge about penile erection. This diagnostic tool enables the study of arteriogenic erectile failure. We report on our six-year experience with this procedure on 900 men with erectile dysfunction. This experience lead us to standardise the method utilising high doses (20-40 micrograms) that minimise false negatives.
