An apparatus for diagnosing male impotence by measuring blood velocity in a cavernosa artery of a male penis includes at least one transducer (30, 32) for transmitting/receiving energy and reading corresponding Doppler effect to detect blood velocity in the cavernosa artery, a transducer housing (20) for supporting the transducer (30, 32) in a substantially fixed orientation with respect to the penis as the transducer measures blood velocity in the cavernosa artery, and a fixing device (50) mechanically coupled to the transducer housing (20), to mechanically fix the transducer housing (20) in place with respect to the penis and hold at least one transducer (30, 32) in a substantially constant angular orientation with respect to the cavernosa artery during an impotence diagnostic procedure. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.

L'invention porte sur un appareil servant à diagnostiquer l'impuissance masculine en mesurant la vitesse du sang dans une artère caverneuse du pénis et comportant: un émetteur/récepteur (30, 32) émettant et recevant de l'énergie et captant l'effet Doppler correspondant pour effectuer la mesure de vitesse du sang; un boîtier (20) abritant l'émetteur/récepteur (30,32) et le maintenant dans une orientation sensiblement constante par rapport au pénis pendant que l'émetteur/récepteur effectue la mesure; et un dispositif de fixation (50) relié mécaniquement au susdit boîtier (20) et le maintenant en place par rapport au pénis pour rendre sensiblement constante l'orientation angulaire de l'un des émetteurs/récepteurs (30, 32 au moins par rapport à l'artère caverneuse pendant le processus de diagnostic de l'impuissance.
