So let’s explain everything you need to know about Transcranial Doppler!

So let’s go for parts. To begin with, what is a Transcranial Doppler?
Transcranial Doppler is nothing more than a clinical examination, similar to ultrasound, very useful for today’s medicine. It allows the identification and analysis of the internal structures of the human body that are pertaining to the circulatory system.

In practice, Doppler uses reflected sound waves to check the blood flow through a blood vessel. With this, the idea is to identify probable clots and other types of obstructions.

This process is of great importance as it helps to evaluate in real time what state the blood flow is in addition to the direction and velocity of blood circulation in the vessels and heart cavities.

Doppler can be applied in the investigation of any question related to blood circulation. It is even widely used in obstetrics to control the health of the mother and also the baby before birth.

What about Transcranial Doppler?
Based on the Doppler system, which emits pulsed low frequency waves, Transcranial Doppler (DTC) is performed in patients requiring attention in the cerebrovascular area.

The main objective is to evaluate the blood circulation of the main intracranial vessels. In this way, it is possible to make the diagnosis and indicate treatments for possible brain problems, such as the Stroke (Stroke) popularly known as Stroke.

One of the major advances is that Transcranial Doppler is a non-invasive examination of the patient. It does not use or emit any kind of radiation, so it does not generate side effects of any nature.

In addition, this examination can be performed as many times as necessary.
