title: [The diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations of the brain by transcranial dopplerography (the potentials of complex noninvasive neurosonoradiological diagnosis)].
abstract: Under analysis were results of diagnostics in 89 patients with suspected arteriovenous malformations (AVM) obtained by the method of ROC-analysis. The examination included computed tomography (CT) and transcranial dopplerography (TCDG) performed by the standard method. The total sensitivity of TCDG in diagnosing AVMs as a nosological form was 89.5% which is considerably higher than the possibilities of CT. Malformation having a torpid course were diagnosed correctly reliably more often (100%) than those with hemorrhagic debut (78.6%). Most perspective is the principle of unity of "morphological" and functional methods of noninvasive diagnostics. Sensitivity of the complex diagnostics of AVMs was 92.9%, diagnostics of malformations with a torpid course being without errors.
