Introduction to Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound
Introduction to Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Training Video is designed to provide an introduction and overview to Transcranial Doppler ultrasound. The presentation also contains video case studies, TCD/TCI examination protocols and techniques. Neuro-anatomy, examination windows, scan techniques, normal waveform characteristics and velocities are discussed.
Video Length:Â 1:05:00
OBJECTIVES
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of intracranial anatomy and physiology.
- Outline proper techniques for the performance of TCD and TCI examinations.
- Identify normal waveform characteristics and apply diagnostic criteria.
- State the clinical usefulness and limitations of TCD and TCI techniques.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Sonographers, physicians, nurse practitioners, PA’s or other medical professional performing and/or interpreting transcranial Doppler ultrasound examinations. Physician participants may include (but is not limited to) neurology, vascular surgery, critical care and radiology.
