Neurosonology in diagnostics of carotid disease

Ultrasound studies enable real-time, bedside evaluation of morphology and hemodynamic of brain vessels. The goal is to identify large obstructive lesions in the extracranial cerebral arteries by means of carotid and vertebral color Doppler sonography (CDS) and of intracranial basal arteries by means of Transcranial Doppler (TCD). Microembolic signals (MES) detection by means of TCD, as well as cerebral vasomotor reactivity (VMR) testing enables addition information of the impact of carotid stenosis and risk for stroke. Neurosonological studies also identify dissections and less frequent causes of stroke, and lesions amenable for interventional treatment.
