We investigated the diagnostic potential of transcranial color-coded
real-time sonography in 52 individuals using a phased-array ultrasound
system with color-coded blood flow representation. Ultrasound scans in the
axial and coronal planes were feasible through temporal acoustic bone
windows in 49 subjects, enabling depiction of the main parenchymal and
vascular structures as well as the ventricular system. Color-coded
representation of blood flow in the cerebral vessels allowed unequivocal
identification of the circle of Willis within the anatomic black-and-white
B-mode image of the parenchymal structures. In Doppler mode, vascular blood
flow phenomena may be analyzed semiquantitatively using the Doppler
frequency spectrum. This noninvasive, serially applicable, mobile beside
method may complement conventional neuroradiologic imaging methods,
allowing on-line studies of functional processes within the adult brain.
