title: [Transcranial Doppler sonography and cerebrovascular reserve capacity].
abstract: Measurements of blood flow velocity in the basal cerebral arteries during functional testing by means of transcranial Doppler sonography are reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on cerebrovascular reserve capacity, which we determined in two groups of patients with obstructive cerebrovascular disease and in normal persons. We discuss the value of functional testing during endovascular neuroradiological procedures.
