The Sonography Lounge Hosts Lori and Trisha Talk with our guest Shannon York from Sky Vascular LLC to discuss Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound. They go into the many uses of the technology, facilities that can benefit from the integration of TCD, case studies, and more.

Transcranial Doppler is a facet of vascular ultrasound that is gaining notoriety quickly. With advancements in ultrasound technology and proper training, TCD can now allow us to evaluate the blood flow in the brain without the use of harmful radiation or dye in ways that would previously not have been possible. Today we would like to give you a brief overview of  TCD and several of its many applications that are helping to save lives through stroke prevention and treatment.
