Interventions

  • Ulrasound Vibroelastography (UVE) — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    Ultrasound technique to quantitatively assess tissue stiffness (elasticity and viscosity) by applying vibration through a specialized probe (indenter).

Study Details

Researchers are trying to determine whether there is additional utility to using vibroelastography, a noninvasive ultrasound technique to evaluate for the presence of tissue fibrosis, in conjunction with standard penile duplex Doppler ultrasound to assess erectile function (recovery) after prostate cancer surgery.
