Abstract
The states of penile erection have not been quantified to establish their relationship to intracorporal fluid pressure and to soft tissue constraint. Computer-based circumferential rigidity sensing during erectile cycles now permits circumferential size and rigidity characterization. Measurements during dynamic infusion cavernometry and cavernosography relate intracorporal pressure and axial rigidity to circumference and circumferential rigidity characterization. Tumescence/rigidity coupling and tissue elastic contributions are identified from the combined data.Keywords
