Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (TCCS) makes possible the visualization of basal cerebral arteries through color-coding the flow velocity information. This method is well established in the clinical routine for the diagnostics of pathological processes in cerebrovascular disease. The present review describes the examination technique, normal and pathological findings, such as stenosis and occlusion of intracranial arteries, as well as intracranial vascular malformations focussing on the advantages of the examination in the axial imaging planes.
