What is a Transcranial Doppler?

Transcranial doppler (TCD) has been referred to as the stethoscope for the brain. It is a painless, non-invasive technology that provides valuable data on the blood flow in the head. It can track instantaneous changes in brain blood flow, enabling the user to evaluate the impact of interventions like adjustments to neck positioning on brain blood flow.

How is a Transcranial Doppler Performed/Operated?

  • By using transcranial doppler (TCD) ultrasound, it is possible to assess the blood flow in the brain’s arteries in real time.
  • During the test, the patient will be conscious and resting on a bed.
  • The blood flow to the deep brain arteries is measured using a 2MHz frequency ultrasound probe that can receive a sound wave several inches inside the skull.
  • Sound waves travel through the tissues of your skull during a TCD and bounce off of the blood cells. This enables a radiologist to watch on a computer screen the velocity and flow of your blood.

Interpretation

TCD is used to detect a wide range of brain disorders. Some of the most common are as following:

  • Vertebrobasilar
  • Narrowing of the blood vessels, known as vasospasm.
  • Stroke or transient ischemic attack
  • Bleeding between the brain and the tissues that surround it.
  • Brain blood vessel ballooning (cerebral aneurysm)
  • Pressure changes within the skull (intracranial pressure)
  • Sickle cell anemia, for determining stroke risk
