Transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) shows high specificity for detecting stenoses and collateral flow in anterior circulation. While sensitivity is limited for internal carotid artery stenoses, TCD is a valuable tool for evaluating cerebrovascular disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) utility in ischemic cerebrovascular disease evaluation is debated.
  • Cerebral angiography is the gold standard for assessing stenosing lesions and collateral flow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the sensitivity and specificity of TCD compared to cerebral angiography.
  • To evaluate TCD's accuracy in detecting stenosing lesions and collateral patterns in the anterior cerebral circulation.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective enrollment of 42 patients across six medical centers.
  • Cerebral angiography and TCD performed within 24 hours for each patient.
  • Analysis of TCD data using pre-defined criteria, both manually and via computerized methods.

Main Results:

  • TCD demonstrated high specificity (>92%) for detecting collateral flow and intracranial stenoses.
  • Sensitivity for severe internal carotid artery stenoses was acceptable (79%-100%), with high specificity (88%-97%).
  • Computerized analysis did not improve the diagnostic performance of TCD criteria.

Conclusions:

  • Selected TCD criteria are highly specific for intracranial stenoses and collateral flow in the anterior circulation.
  • TCD shows acceptable sensitivity and specificity for internal carotid artery stenoses and high sensitivity for ophthalmic artery retrograde flow.
  • A larger study is needed to establish definitive diagnostic guidelines for TCD in cerebrovascular disease.
