The Penis in many departments is infrequently the focus of an ultrasound study. In contrast, ultrasound of the female reproductive organs are common, and as a result sonography is usually of a high standard and conducted with ease.
With this infrequency of requests for Sonography of the penis, it is viewed as specialised and complicated. As such it is generally not performed optimally. This raises the need for a systematic approach, a substantiated protocol and a good anatomical knowledge of the penis will help you achieve good results.
