AB020. Usefulness of RigiScan® evaluation of nocturnal penile tumescence

摘要

BackgroundThe RigiScan^® is widely used for evaluating impairment of erectile function after traumatic events such as traffic accidents, workplace injuries, and surgical operations, and is often used in preparing diagnostic reports of erectile dysfunction, which can then be used as evidence in court cases. In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare requires the use of RigiScan^® monitoring for evaluating nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) when assessing disability benefits for workplace accidents. We evaluated the accuracy of RigiScan^® NPT testing for diagnosing erectile function.
