With the help of colour-coded duplex sonography intracranial vessels can be displayed within the gray scale image. The sample volume of the pulsed Doppler device can be placed optimally within intracranial vessels. Angle correction is possible and allows the quantification of flow velocities. Indications for colour coded Doppler sonography are diseases such as intracranial haemorrhage, hydrocephalus, meningoencephalitis, hypoxaemic-ischaemic insults, brain oedema, brain death, vasculitis and cerebrovascular malformations. Additionally all cardiovascular malformations such as a leakage of the aortic "windkessel" or obstructions of the left heart are associated with pathologic flow profiles in the intracranial arteries.

D001926	Brain Death	A state of prolonged irreversible cessation of all brain activity, including lower brain stem function with the complete absence of voluntary movements, responses to stimuli, brain stem reflexes, and spontaneous respirations. Reversible conditions which mimic this clinical state (e.g., sedative overdose, hypothermia, etc.) are excluded prior to making the determination of brain death.

D002538	Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations	Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.

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.

D017585	Ultrasonography, Doppler, Transcranial	A non-invasive technique using ultrasound for the measurement of cerebrovascular hemodynamics, particularly cerebral blood flow velocity and cerebral collateral flow. With a high-intensity, low-frequency pulse probe, the intracranial arteries may be studied transtemporally, transorbitally, or from below the foramen magnum.

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.
