Abstract
In our days the radiologic examination method of dynamic cavernosography is still in the state of infancy but has already passed the test as an indispensable means to locate the site of a venous leak and to diagnose other pathologic penile conditions. Its field of application covers penile fracture, the extension of induratio penis plastica, the degree of fibrosis in the postpriapic state, the testing of tumour penetration. The method being invasive it is important to apply it in the proper diagnostic order, as soon as clear proof has been furnished that the potency disorder is not due to impaired reflex activity, has not developed on a psychic background and the Doppler test has revealed normal arterial flow conditions.
