[Role of transcranial ultrasonography in neuroradiological diagnosis].
Blood flow within the major arteries supplying the brain can be studied with transcranial Doppler sonography, a noninvasive, portable procedure. We describe the technique of examination, as well as indications in children and adults such as the investigation of intracranial stenosis, collateral pathways, vasospasm, cerebral emboli and arteriovenous malformations.
