Interesting Questions from A Vascular Ultrasound Laboratory
Q: When we perform ABI, our focus is to find the BP based on the waveform and the sound. Should we pay attention to or report the amplitude of theRead more- As a neurology surgeon at a hospital, I often use Transcranial Doppler (TCD) to track vasospasm, which is a common complication following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Vasospasm is characterized by a constriction of the blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to decreased blood flow and oxygenation to the brain, and can ultimately result in brain injury or stroke.Read more
- Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors are widely used in vascular laboratories to non-invasively measure blood flow and perfusion in various vascular beds. These sensors work by measuring changes in the volume of blood in the vessels, which can be used to infer information about blood flow and perfusion.Read more

Here are some general considerations to keep in mind when selecting a transcranial Doppler (TCD) equipment for your clinicRead more- Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that measures blood flow velocity in the arteries of the brain. TCD has various applications in neurology and stroke, including: DetectionRead more
5 Reasons to use Transcranial Doppler Instead of an MRI
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses ultrasound waves to measure blood flow velocity in the arteries of the brain. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a non-invasiveRead more- Transcranial Doppler (TCD) technology has been rapidly advancing in recent years, allowing for non-invasive monitoring of cerebral blood flow. Here are some of the latest advances in TCD technology:Read more
- Transcranial Doppler measures the velocity of blood flow through the brain’s blood vessels. This non-invasive test aids in diagnosing a range of medical conditionsRead more
Clinical Applications of Transcranial Doppler (TCD)
Transcranial Doppler has a variety of clinical applications. The scan can be performed daily, at the bedside, in ICU, and involves no exposure to radiation, magnetic fields or contrast dyes. It is a far cheaper and easier logistically than CT, MRI or angiographyRead moreTechnical Benefits and Features of the Dolphin IQ & 4D
The Dolphin IQ & 4D host a range of technical benefits that will appeal to technicians, sonographers, and hospital IT administrators.Read moreWhy is PAD Testing Important to Your Clinic?
PAD testing can be used for differential diagnosis of ischaemic lower limb pain (claudication) from lower limb pain caused by other factors such as neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. The treadmill exercise ABI test is particularly useful for this purposeRead morePeripheral Arterial Disease Diagnostic and Screening Practice Guidelines
PAD diagnostic guidelines recommend clinical assessment and diagnostic testing. Clinical evaluation is essential which includes the clinical history, review of symptoms and physical examinationsRead more
