A test involving the techniques of corporeal insufflation and continuous monitoring of penile circumference is described. Corporeal calibration performed in this manner allows the expression of nocturnal penile tumescence as a relative value of tumescence capacity. The application of this test permits diagnostic criteria to be established on the basis of the erectile potential, thus, avoiding the problems inherent with the use of absolute values of sleep erections. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byHeaton J, Morales A, Owen J, Saunders F and Fenemore J (2018) Topical Glyceryltrinitrate Causes Measurable Penile Arterial Dilation in Impotent MenJournal of Urology, VOL. 143, NO. 4, (729-731), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1990.Leonard M, Nickel C and Morales A (2018) Hyperprolactinemia and Impotence: Why, when and how to InvestigateJournal of Urology, VOL. 142, NO. 4, (992-994), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1989.Owen J, Saunders F, Harris C, Fenemore J, Reid K, Surridge D, Condra M and Morales A (2018) Topical Nitroglycerin: A Potential Treatment for ImpotenceJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 3 Part 1, (546-548), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1989.Earls C, Morales A and Marshall W (2018) Penile Sufficiency: An Operational DefinitionJournal of Urology, VOL. 139, NO. 3, (536-538), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1988.Morales A, Condra M, Owen J, Surridge D, Fenemore J and Harris C (2018) Is Yohimbine Effective in the Treatment of Organic Impotence?
