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.
阴茎疾病是泌尿男科疾病的重要组成部分。阴茎虽是小器官，一旦发生问题却往往给患者带来巨大困扰。因此，对阴茎疾病的准确诊断显得尤为重要。高频超声可以清晰地显示阴茎组织的结构和血流情况，具有无创、安全经济、简便易行和可重复性高等优点，在血管性勃起功能障碍、阴茎异常勃起、阴茎海绵体损伤、阴茎肿瘤性和非肿瘤性结节等疾病的诊断和随访中具有重要价值。同时，剪切波弹性成像(SWE)和超声造影(CEUS)等新技术的发展弥补了传统超声成像技术的不足，拓展了超声在阴茎疾病领域的应用，有望进一步提高超声诊断阴茎疾病的效能。本文就超声诊断在阴茎勃起功能异常、阴茎海绵体损伤、阴茎结节等疾病中的应用价值以及SWE、CEUS等新技术应用于阴茎疾病的最新进展进行综述。.
