Abdomen Sonography: Penile Vascular Pathologies and Abnormalities - Video Lesson

Welcome back everyone to our abdominal extended ultrasound series. Today's lesson will cover penile vascular pathologies and abnormalities. When evaluating penile vascular health with ultrasound, sonographers play an important role in identifying both normal anatomy and abnormal conditions that may impact erectile function or arise from trauma. Let's get started. Using grayscale imaging and Doppler, we can visualize the paired corpora cavernosa, the central cavernosal arteries, and the surrounding venous drainage system. Recognizing how these vessels normally behave during flaccid and erect states provides the foundation for understanding vascular abnormalities. Let's begin by looking at a pathology that is commonly due to vascular issues. Erectile dysfunction, or ED, can have vascular causes that are either arterial, due to insufficient inflow, or venogenic, result
