A radioisotope technique to estimate penile blood flow is described. The radioisotope penogram is noninvasive and gives a dynamic evaluation of the arterial supply, venous drainage, and blood flow in the corporeal bodies. The penogram is a valuable adjunct in evaluation of patients with vasculogenic impotence.

The clinical reports on Sildenafil sulfate (Viagra) are mainly based on individual observations. However, there is a paucity of objective studies in the literature. In order to objectively examine the effect of Sildenafil, a SS (Sexual Stimulation)-Penogram that is a non-invasive, simple and physiologic method was developed using a radioisotope (RI).

The 99mTc-labelled RBC erection penogram (Tc-RBC penogram) coupled with intracavernosal injection of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) was used to evaluate the penile hemodynamic changes during tumescence. As expected, the method is useful to differentiate organic from psychogenic impotence, and arteriogenic from venogenic impotence. Thirty-four patients with psychogenic impotence, 23 patients with arteriogenic impotence, and 27 patients with venogenic impotence were included in the study.

The accuracy of the echographic investigations is correlated to the investigator experience. Cavernosometry and cavernosography are more invasive technique than the radioisotope erection penogram, which is a reproductive and reliable test.

The recent clinical and experimental research innovations in Andrology make possible the following classification of impotence: "Failure to initiate" "Failure to store" "Failure to fill" The last aspect, including veno-occlusive dysfunction, is continuously reevaluated by andrologic studies. The main diagnostic procedure of this complex problem, in constant evolution, is represented by cavernometry. Recently, but with full success, we are utilizing direct radioisotopic penogram in video sexy stimulation: in preselection function but probably in future with substitutive function of the more invasive and traditional cavernometry.

Arterial and venous systems are the main points for the evaluation of vasculogenic impotence. To evaluate both of these systems in the same study we propose a dual radioisotopic study in which 99mtechnetium (99mTc) and 133xenon (133Xe) were used. The changes in 99mTc and 133Xe radioactivities administered intravenously and intracavernously, respectively, were monitored before and after intracavernous papaverine injection.
