title: Recent developments in transcranial Doppler sonography.
abstract: Transcranial Doppler mapping, dual monitoring, color imaging, emboli detection, and insonation after administration of contrast media are recent technological advances that promise to bring new capabilities to transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, and are likely to change its applications in the near future. This article presents a critical review of these developments.
