BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Atherothrombotic disease of the middle cerebral artery
(MCA) frequently occurs in Asian populations. This abnormality can be noninvasively …

Purpose We evaluated the accuracy of transcranial Doppler (TCD) criteria in detecting
middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenoses other than solitary severe stenoses. Methods Three …

Background—Serial changes of flow velocities of transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) in
symptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusive disease may be related to the …

Abstract Introduction: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is an established tool for the non-invasive
assessment of cerebral blood flow. Since TCD results vary with the skills and experience of …

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) findings of uni-or bilateral middle cerebral artery
(MCA) stenosis were compared with results of transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) and …

Background and Purpose—Patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis
have a high rate of recurrence. We conducted a prospective study to determine which factors …

Purpose: The relationship between intracranial vascular disease and cardiovascular risk
factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and total serum cholesterol in …

Objective: To evaluate prospectively the diagnostic accuracy of transcranial doppler (TCD)
as an additional screening tool for intracranial arterial steno-occlusive disease against …

Stroke is a heterogeneous disease with a plethora of differing stroke mechanisms. Small
vessel, large artery atherosclerosis and cardio-embolic stroke are the most common …

Background: Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) and magnetic resonance angiography
(MRA) can identify intracranial atherosclerosis but have not been rigorously validated …
