There are 2 types of transcranial Doppler ultrasound. In the non-imaging technique, vessels are identified and interrogated based on sound, waveform, and sample depth, often using a transorbital window. The imaging technique involves the use of color Doppler to visualize the vessels themselves, commonly via a transtemporal window. Non-imaging transcranial doppler has long been used as diagnostic tool to assess for intracranial vasospasm in critically ill adults. Imaging transcranial Doppler is a common tool used in the surveillance of children with sickle cell anemia to evaluate for risk of stroke. This presentation describes the use of the imaging transcranial Doppler technique to monitor the intracranial circulation in critically ill children in neurocritical care setting. Read More

Transcranial Doppler examinations are crucial in the care and treatment of patients in the Sickle cell population. The earlier we are able to obtain diagnostic studies on these patients the more effective treatment is and can reduce the risk of the patient suffering from a life altering stroke. Read More
