Razumovsky AY, Jahangiri FR, Balzer J, et al. J Neuroimaging 2022;1–17. https://lnkd.in/eKWNpUMK A rapidly growing literature shows that essential hemodynamic information provided by transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography neuromonitoring (TCDNM) provides an effective monitoring modality for improving outcomes after many vascular, neurosurgical, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and cardiothoracic surgeries and for some endovascular interventional or diagnostic procedures, like

“Transcranial doppler findings in reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome” is a short communication in the Journal of Neuroimaging (Hathidara M, Patel NH, Flores A, Cabrera Y, Cabrera F, Koch S. J Neuroimaging. 2021;1–7. https://lnkd.in/gjjkrEBQ). There is a modest suggestion: “TCD may be a useful screening tool to detect abnormal trends to increase yield of repeated angiograms.” The
