Ultrasound Diagnostics as a Method of Investigation of Plastic Induration of the Penis

Abstract

Using the ultrasound technique of visualization (grey-scale technique) and a method of ‘water bath’, the authors obtained echograms of plastic indurations of the penis. The echograms can be immediately photographed and interpreted. By their quick, painless and simple performance, without contrast medium and hazardous irradiation, the authors gain an advantage over some other diagnostic methods.
