History of Doppler
Christian Doppler, 1842, at Royal
Bohemian Society, described the
effect.
1959, Satomora & Kaneko, used
Doppler ultrasound to measure
cerebral blood flow but concluded
unsurmountable!
Introduction of B-mode imaging
Sono thrombolysis ...
B-mode Ultrasonography
Principle – the variable acoustic
impedance that different body tissues
possess naturally.
Standard display –
Color – direction of flow
Saturation – magnitude of signal
B-mode display has become standard
Intraoperative
ultrasonography
Provides real time images of
intradural, intraspinal images
Craniotomy or laminectomy is required
Useful for tumors, cysts, abscesses,
vascular malformations, hematomas
Subcortical lesions – 7-10 MHz
Deeper lesions – lower frequency
transducer ( 3 MHz )
Evaluate extent of resection
Rubin & Duhrmann et al, 186 patients,
found IOUS more useful for small
subcortical lesions.
Useful to correct brain shift after
craniotomy in stereotaxis.
micro-Doppler sonography – vessels
<1mm can be discretely insonated.
Duplex ultrasonography
Doppler integrated with B-mode
imaging means duplex USG.
Uses one transduder (5-7 MHz).
Display screen
Color – direction of the flow
Saturation – degree of frequency shift
Brightness – turbulence
Limitation – assess only small area
Solution – Color flow imaging
Transcranial doppler
Aaslid and colleagues – 1982,
introduced TCD ultrasonography
Uses 2 MHz probe for better
penetration.
Visualisation of IC vasculature.
Windows
Trans temporal
MCA, ACA, ICA, proximal PCA
Trans orbital
Ophthalmic artery, intracavernous &
supraclinoid part of ICA.
Trans occipital
2 vertebral arteries, basilar artery.
