Abstract
The present invention is directed toward a method and apparatus for stimulating and/or monitoring hemodynamic activity, such as blood flow, in a penis. The method of the present invention comprises the coupling of an ultrasound source to the outer surface of the penis and transmitting ultrasound energy into the penis at a sufficient frequency and intensity to increase hemodynamic activity. An apparatus is also provided for practicing the method of the present invention. The apparatus provides for position adjustment of the ultrasound transducers during the circumferential expansion of the penis resulting from increased hemodynamic activity.
