Department of Urology, Mayo Clinic Florida, 4500 San Pablo Road, Jacksonville, FL 32224, USA.

 

The underlying processes in vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) are arterial insufficiency, venoocclusive disease, or combinations of both. Doppler blood flow analysis is a diagnostic modality useful in elucidating the cause of ED and the magnitude of its severity. This article describes the procedural techniques, typical findings, and relevant pathophysiology for in-office Doppler studies. Specific conditions include arterial insufficiency, venous occlusive disease, Peyronie's disease, and priapism.
