Translational neurosonology

Advances in neurosonology 2005.

Most notable research with neurovascular ultrasound in 2005 focused on treatment amplification,1–3 identification of high-risk patients with intracranial stenoses,4 increased carotid intima-media thickness,5,6 monitoring repairs of ascending aorta,7 carotid stenting,8,9 patient selection and outcomes with percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure,10 and acute stroke treatment.11–15 Clopidogrel ...

Standards in neurosonology. Part I

The paper presents standards related to ultrasound imaging of the cerebral vasculature and structures. The aim of this paper is to standardize both the performance and description of ultrasound imaging of the extracranial and intracranial cerebral arteries as well as a study of a specific brain structure, i.e. substantia nigra hyperechogenicity. The following aspects are included in the descrip...

Complementary examinations other than neuroimaging and neurosonology in acute stroke

The etiologic diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases requires non-routine complementary examinations to be performed. Thus, in specific cases, after neuroimaging (computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging cerebral scan sequences) and neurosonology (Doppler test of the supra-aortic trunks, transcranial echography and echocardiography), which academically allow us to classify the patients acc...
