PURPOSE: To compare blood flow velocity changes within the middle cerebral artery (MCA) during hyperventilation, as measured with by both transcranial Doppler sonography and MR imaging, with the diameter of the MCA as measured with MR imaging alone. METHODS: The studies were performed in six healthy volunteers ranging in age from 22 to 31 years (mean, 27 years). Transcranial Doppler sonography was carried out with a range-gated 2-MHz transducer. MR examinations were done on a 1.5-T imaging unit. MR angiography was performed using the time-of-flight technique. MR flow measurements were carried out by using the phase- mapping technique with an ECG-triggered phase-contrast sequence. RESULTS: During hyperventilation, the mean blood flow velocity of the proximal MCA declined by 49.6% +/- 5.7 (mean +/- standard deviation) as measured with Doppler sonography, and by 47% +/- 4.6 as measured with MR flow calculation. The diameter of the MCA (3.4 +/- 0.3 mm) remained unchanged on MR imaging studies (3.3 +/- 0.3 mm). CONCLUSION: We found a good correlation between relative flow velocity changes measured by transcranial Doppler sonography and MR techniques. MR imaging revealed no significant changes in the diameter of the proximal MCA during normal versus hyperventilation. Relative changes in flow velocity in the MCA would thereby reflect relative changes in cerebral blood flow, at least during hyperventilation.
