Cerebrovascular diseases are still common cause of patient mortality and disability. New methods of treatment and prevention are still searched for. Ultrasound examinations of extra- and intracranial arteries allow stroke course monitoring, evaluation of treatment and prevention of new cases. This article is a review of ultrasound techniques and their clinical applications, referred to factors involved in stroke prevalence, clinical management of and possibilities of prevention.

D002561	Cerebrovascular Disorders	A spectrum of pathological conditions of impaired blood flow in the brain. They can involve vessels (ARTERIES or VEINS) in the CEREBRUM, the CEREBELLUM, and the BRAIN STEM. Major categories include INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS; BRAIN ISCHEMIA; CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE; and others.

D018616	Ultrasonography, Doppler, Duplex	Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect combined with real-time imaging. The real-time image is created by rapid movement of the ultrasound beam. A powerful advantage of this technique is the ability to estimate the velocity of flow from the Doppler shift frequency.
