Stroke is a serious complication in patients. Here atSHREE HARI DIAGNOSTICS, we perform transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound exams to check for increased risk of stroke in these patients. The TCD exam is similar to other ultrasound tests. The transducer, or camera, is very small and placed on the side of your child’s head just in front of the ear. This test is painless and requires no special preparation on the day of the test. The TCD method was first introduced by Dr. Rune Aaslid from Norway in 1982. He discovered that you could send an ultrasound beam through the thin temporal bone of the skull and measure the speed or velocity of the blood as it traveled through the vessels. This TCD ultrasound test examines the velocity in the arteries of the Circle of Willis–some of the major blood vessels that supply the brain. If the velocity in an artery exceeds 250 centimeters per second, that area is at a higher risk for stroke. Blood transfusions and/or medications are commonly used to treat these patients with high-velocity results. Our patients with sickle cell disease are screened regularly with this exam. Keeping a close eye on their arterial velocities allows our physicians to intervene early, decreasing your child’s risk for stroke. This TCD exam is just another way that we at Cincinnati Children’s can change the outcome together.
