TCD Reports
TriStar Skyline Medical Center offers a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach for the care of patients with neurovascular and cardiac health problems. One of these services is Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound. TCD reports are read by a physician board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology.
TCD is of growing importance in neurology, not only in the evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases but also in monitoring the intensive care or intraoperative situation and in the field of europhysiology. TCD is of use in the diagnosis, management and therapy in:
- Cerebrovascular stenosis (similar NPV to MRA)
- Diagnosis of systemic right-to-left shunts (with microbubbles injection and standardized Valsalva maneuver)
- Cerebral vasoreactivity in ischemia — done at the bedside, as an adjunct in the diagnosis of brain death
- To monitor vasospasm after aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage
- As therapy (sonothrombolysis) in acute ischemic stroke, with or without IV TPA
