Transcranial Doppler

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a medical imaging technique used to assess blood flow in the brain’s major arteries. It employs ultrasound waves, which are sound waves that cannot be heard by humans, to measure the speed of blood flow through these vessels. By detecting changes in the frequency of the reflected sound waves, healthcare providers can gather important information about conditions such as stroke, blood clots, and other vascular issues. TCD is non-invasive, safe, and does not involve radiation, making it a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring brain health.
