A new method transforms transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocity signals into cerebral arterial blood volume (CaBV) waves, revealing how impaired intracranial compliance affects blood distribution within the brain. This approach, validated against invasive ICP measurements, offers a promising, non-invasive tool to better understand pressure dynamics and...
Intracranial B waves, detected using transcranial Doppler, show rhythmic fluctuations in cerebral blood flow and pressure, suggesting a role in cerebrospinal fluid movement and brain waste clearance. This insight could be crucial for understanding brain dynamics and enhancing treatment strategies for conditions like brain injury...
During surgical procedures, monitoring of CBF can be used to identify changes in blood flow that may indicate inadequate cerebral perfusion or ischemia. This information can help the surgical team make real-time adjustments to optimize cerebral perfusion and minimize the risk of cerebral damage....
Microdoppler techniques keep their special value in the subject of neurosurgery. Due to irreversible damage of neuronal tissue in case of ischaemic hypoperfusion during spinal or brain surgery it is highly important to protect feeding and draining vessels....
