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