Abstract:Nuclear medicine techniques may be used to test vasculogenic impotence. Dynamic radioisotope penogram with 0.3 mg sublingual nitroglycerin was performed in 50 impotent patients. The penogram index (Ip) and the time required to reach peak activity (Tp) was calculated. Ip was useful to differentiate vasculogenic and psychogenic impotence. The radioisotope penogram is a simple, less invasive and valuable screening test in the identification of vasculogenic impotence.
