Hi Russell,
Thank you for your questions about CT imaging of penile arteries for atherosclerosis related to ED. The short answer is yes, but the issues are complex.
Getting insurance companies to pay for four-dimensional CT angiography (4D-CTA) in the diagnosis of arterial erectile dysfunction (ED) using 320-detector row dynamic volume CT is nearly impossible. I have never seen any insurer pay for that, nor have I ordered it, because of the cost.

That being said, some guys are going to suffer ED despite not showing significant atherosclerosis on imaging, due to the effect on nitric oxide levels when endothelial cells are damaged by meat, dairy, eggs, oil, alcohol, and caffeine.
