Three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasonography is a new technique to evaluate the pattern of blood vessels. This study was performed to assess the feasibility of this method in evaluation of kidney vasculature pattern in dogs. In this paper, visualization of the Renal, Interlobar, Arcuate, and interlobular arteries and veins using 3D color Doppler ultrasonography in dogs is shown and the techn...

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Historically, it has been considered an ocular disease primary caused by pathological intraocular pressure (IOP). Recently, researchers have emphasized intracranial pressure (ICP), as translaminar counter pressure against IOP may play a role in glaucoma development and progression. It remains controversial what is the best way to mea...

Aim: Transcranial​ ​Doppler​ ​(TCD)​ is a widely used method for the evaluation of vertebrobasilar system. There not neither consensus nor significant number publications about normal spectral Doppler waveform and resistance index (RI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic (EDV) values basilar artery (BA). We aim to define PSV, EDV, RI BA via TCD in healthy infants.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A recent transcranial Doppler study found reduced blood velocity in seven patients during migraine attacks in the middle cerebral artery at the headache side. This would implicate vasodilation of the middle cerebral artery in the pathogenesis of headache in migraine. We attempted to confirm this finding. METHODS We determined blood velocity with transcranial Doppler ult...

background: the goal of this study was to determine the reliability of tcd in evaluation of vertebrobasilar arteries in comparison with brain mra in patients suffering from acute vertebrobasilar stroke. methods: samples were patients with definite clinical diagnosis of vertebrobasilar stroke. for all patients brain mri, mra and tcd were performed during the first 48 hours of admission. basilar ...

As a preliminary investigation into the cerebral effects of mechanical cardiac assist devices, using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography I examined the basal cerebral arteries in three patients placed on an intra-aortic balloon pump. Unassisted systoles had normal blood velocities and waveforms. When the pump was in use, diastolic blood velocity during balloon inflation increased. As the ballo...

UNLABELLED The combination of propofol and ketamine has been used for total IV anesthesia. This study was designed to clarify the effects of propofol-ketamine anesthesia on cerebral circulation by using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. In Study 1, we examined the time course of time-mean middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (Vmca) after ketamine (n = 10) or saline (n = 6) administrat...
