ABSTRACT
Penile disease is one of the male urological diseases. Although the penis is a small organ, once the problem occurs, it often brings great trouble to the patient. Therefore, the accurate diagnosis of penile disease is particularly important. High-frequency ultrasonography, with its advantages of noninvasiveness, safety, low cost, easy operation and reproducibility, can clearly show the structure and blood flow of the penis and has a significant value in the diagnosis and follow-up of penile diseases such as vascular erectile dysfunction, priapism, penile injury, penile neoplastic and non neoplastic nodules. Meanwhile, the development of new technologies such as shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has made up for the shortcomings of traditional ultrasound imaging, expanded the application of ultrasound in penile diseases, and improved the efficiency of ultrasound diagnosis of the diseases. This article focuses on the application value of ultrasound in erectile dysfunction, priapism, penile cavernous injury and penile tubercle, as well as the latest progress in such new technologies as SWE and CEUS applied to penile diseases.
