Vertebrobasilar transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography: improvement with echo enhancement.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnostic yield of vertebrobasilar transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (US) is often hampered by insufficient acoustic penetration, anatomic variations, and vessel tortousity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of echo enhancement on vertebrobasilar transcranial color-coded duplex US. METHODS In 23 consecutive patients (mean age, 61.0 ...
متن کاملEcho-enhanced transcranial color-coded duplex sonography in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular events: a validation study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) is a diagnostic technique for evaluation of intracranial arteries in patients with acute stroke. Echo-enhancing contrast agents (EEAs) are necessary to visualize intracranial vessels in up to 30% of patients because of limited acoustic bone windows. In this study, we assessed the diagnostic efficacy of echo-enhanced TCCD (...
متن کاملVertebral artery occlusion in duplex color-coded ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To establish the diagnostic criteria for the site of occlusion in the vertebral arteries (VAs) using duplex color-coded ultrasonography. METHODS In 128 consecutive patients who underwent conventional cerebral angiography, we prospectively measured the diameter, mean flow velocity (MV), peak systolic flow velocity, and end-diastolic flow velocity of both VAs. The diamete...
متن کاملTranscranial color-coded duplex sonography of intracerebral hematomas in adults.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is well established from pediatric experience and animal experiments that intracerebral blood can be demonstrated by B-mode real-time duplex scanning. This has recently become feasible in adults as well. The present study investigated the changes in the sonographic appearance of intracerebral hematomas over the course of time. METHODS Starting in May 1991, 23 consecu...
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. ...
