After a brief historical introduction, the Authors describe the methodology of the continuous wave basic and dynamic Doppler examination of the penile arteries as well as the main normal and pathologic patterns. Some special tensiometric tests are reported. Advantages and limits of the afore mentioned examinations are discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D010410	Penile Erection	The state of the PENIS when the erectile tissue becomes filled or swollen (tumid) with BLOOD and causes the penis to become rigid and elevated. It is a complex process involving CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS; HORMONES; SMOOTH MUSCLES; and vascular functions.

D010413	Penis	The external reproductive organ of males. It is composed of a mass of erectile tissue enclosed in three cylindrical fibrous compartments. Two of the three compartments, the corpus cavernosa, are placed side-by-side along the upper part of the organ. The third compartment below, the corpus spongiosum, houses the urethra.

D017078	Laser-Doppler Flowmetry	A method of non-invasive, continuous measurement of MICROCIRCULATION. The technique is based on the values of the DOPPLER EFFECT of low-power laser light scattered randomly by static structures and moving tissue particulates.

D018783	Impotence, Vasculogenic	Inability to achieve and maintain an erection (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION) due to defects in the arterial blood flow to the PENIS, defect in venous occlusive function allowing blood drainage (leakage) from the erectile tissue (corpus cavernosum penis), or both.
