Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is a widely accessible and relatively easy bedside procedure. It is highly valuable in diagnosing BD/DNC, as it can detect oscillating flow or systolic spikes in major intracranial arteries (including the internal carotid, middle and anterior cerebral, posterior cerebral, basilar, and vertebral...
TCD provides noninvasive monitoring in diverse clinical situations, offering real-time physiological data without increasing patient risks or costs. ...
If the coronavirus causes vascular inflammation (vasculitis), the inflammatory reaction leads to vascular narrowing with relevant cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) changes. An intracranial routine examination can assist in diagnosis of vasculitis by following proximal cerebral vascular abnormalities. ...
Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCD) and Transcranial Color Duplex Sonography (TCCD) are complementary diagnostic methods. The diagnosis of stenoses can be made with conventional TCD with the help of higher sensitivity in the velocity measurement....
The authors in this study point out the portability and flexibility of TCD as predestined for bed-side applications and thus meeting the concept of POCUS. Moreover, the authors also highlight the fact that TCD may be more useful in daily practice for identification of a...
