Penile erection is a neurovascular response that induces penile arterial dilatation, increased blood flow, and cavernous smooth muscles (CSM) relaxation; the enlarging corpora cavernosa compress the subtunical veins, against a rigid tunica albuginea, and entrap blood within the penis. Impaired CSM function can result in corporo veno-occlusive dysfunction (CVOD) and erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, diagnostic tests, which can evaluate the status of CSM, are not clinically applicable. Penile elastography is a new promising tool that can assess the stiffness of the corpora cavernosa. Accordingly penile elastography can assess the status of the cavernous tissue and can distinguish patient with corporal fibrosis.

Device: Shear Wave Elastography
is a quantitative method in which the probe generates acoustic impulses through the tissue to create molecular vibration. These vibrations create shear waves so that elasticity might be calculated, because it is proportional to the speed of the waves
