| description | Functional imaging with positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography is capable of visualizing subtle changes in physiological function in vivo. Erectile dysfunction(ED) diminishes quality of life for affected men and their partners. Identification of neural substrates may provide information regarding the pathophysiology of types of sexual dysfunction originating in the brain. The aim of this work is to verify the approaches of the nuclear medicine techniques in the evaluation of the erectile function/disfunction. A search using the words ED and nuclear medicine, ED and scintigraphy, ED and spect and ED and pet was done in the PubMed. The number of citations in each subject was determined. Neuroimaging techniques offer insight into brain regions involved in sexual arousal and inhibition. To tackle problems such as hyposexual disorders or ED caused by brain disorders, it is crucial to understand how the human brain controls sexual arousal and penile erection.<br>Imagens functionais, como o positron emission tomography e o single photon emission computed tomography são capazes de identificar súbitas alterações fisiológicas in vivo. A disfunção er��til diminui a qualidade de vida do casal. A identificação de substratos neurais pode esclarecer a fisiopatologia dos diferentes tipos de disfunções sexuais originadas no cérebro. O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar a abordagem das técnicas da medicina nuclear na avaliação da função/disfunção erétil. Uma pesquisa utilizando as palavras disfunção erétil e medicina nuclear, disfunção erétil e cintigrafia, disfunção erétil e SPECT e disfunção erétil e PET foi realizada no PubMed. O número de citações em cada palavra estudada foi determinado. Técnicas de neuroimagem permitem a avaliação das regiões cerebrais durante o estímulo ou inibição sexual. Para resolver alterações como disfunções hipossexuais ou disfunção erétil causada por alterações cerebrais, é crucial entender como o cérebro controla o estímulo sexual e a ereção peniana. |
