Contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded sonography in acute hemispheric brain infarction.
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic potential of contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded real-time sonography (CE-TCCS) in otherwise ultrasound-refractory acute stroke patients with an ischemia in the territory of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Furthermore, correlations of CE-TCCS findings with clinical, angiographic, and CT results were investigated. ...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded real-time sonography. Results of a phase-two study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial color-coded real-time sonography has been developed as a promising new bedside procedure to monitor central nervous system parenchymal and vascular pathology; the present study was designed to investigate the potential role of galactose microparticles (SH U 508 A) as a new ultrasound contrast-enhancing agent for transcranial sonography. METHODS Ten patients...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced three-dimensional transcranial color-coded sonography of intracranial stenoses.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial stenoses are associated with a considerable number of strokes each year. The clinical value of a workstation-based three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction system for transcranial color-coded sonography was evaluated in patients with intracranial stenosis or occlusion. METHODS Twenty-six patients (13 men, 13 women; mean age, 57 years +/- 12 [SD]) with 36 intra...
متن کاملDiagnostic impact and prognostic relevance of early contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded duplex sonography in acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to evaluate the diagnostic value of echo-enhanced transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) and the clinical relevance of vascular pathology assessed by sonography for early clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We present 23 consecutive patients with an anterior circulation stroke in whom clinical examination, CT, and ultrasonography were...
متن کاملTranscranial color-coded duplex sonography in cerebral aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diagnosis and successful therapy before rupture of cerebral aneurysms would be most desirable in view of the high mortality and morbidity rates of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Using transcranial color-coded duplex sonography, we studied radiologically proven cerebral aneurysms to define ultrasonographic criteria and sensitivity for their diagnosis and detection. ...
