Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and Imaging (TCI)
This course in transcranial Doppler (TCD), is designed to provide the physician or technologist with practical insights into the performance of TCD. It is intended for those who already possess a basic familiarity with noninvasive ultrasound technique.
LEVEL 1: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) & Transcranial Imaging (TCI) Techniques
Level 1, (day one) covers anatomy and technique through lectures and demonstrations. The afternoon is set aside to introduce specific imaging and non-imaging techniques through personalized hands-on training using models with normal intracranial circulation.
LEVEL 2: TCD/TCI Interpretation and advanced applications.
Level 2 covers advanced TCD applications (days two and three). It is designed for students who have some TCD experience, have completed level one, and/or for those specifically seeking instruction in TCD interpretation. Topics to be discussed include the effects of extracranial arterial occlusive disease, CO2 reactivity, cerebral emboli detection, intracranial stenosis, vasospasm, arteriovenous malformation, intraoperative monitoring and brain death. Personalized hands-on training using patient models with pathology is provided in the afternoon. Case studies and active interpretation with the instructor are provided to develop skills in visual analysis of Doppler spectral waveforms.
