title: Elastosonography in the Peyronie's disease: our preliminary experience.
abstract: This work aims to inform our experience on a new diagnostic method applied to Peyronie's disease. Our study demonstrates that real time sonoelastography is more reliable than traditional ultrasound because it can detect all palpable plaques, evaluating precisely the thickness, size, involvement of surrounding tissues. These features can be also assessed a flaccid penis.
