Role of Noninvasive Imaging of Cerebral Arterial System in Ischemic Stroke: Comparison of Transcranial Color-coded Doppler Sonography with Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Abstract

To determine the accuracy of transcranial color-coded Doppler sonography (TCCS) in the evaluation of cerebral arterial system in patients with ischemic stroke attending a tertiary care hospital in South India. (1) To describe the topographical distribution of atherosclerotic lesions in the cerebral circulation in patients presenting with ischemic stroke from the Indian subcontinent and (2) to determine the accuracy of TCCS for detection and quantification of intracranial stenoses in various segments of the intracerebral arterial system in comparison with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). The demographic profile and risk factors of consecutive patients who presented to neurology outpatient department with cerebral ischemia and scheduled for MRA were determined. These patients had undergone neck Doppler, TCCS, and MRA. The agreement between the MRA and TCCS was assessed using kappa statistics. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of TCCS as compared to MRA were calculated. Ninety patients were included in the final analysis. Intracranial atherosclerosis was found in 35.6% of cases. The agreement between TCCS and MRA in detecting lesions for the different arterial segments in the intracrani...Continue Reading

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
