The interpretation of the values obtained by TCD/TCCS examination is dependent on the clinical context and the systemic circulatory status, with reference to the normal values expected for a patient. 2. The identification of the insonated vessel depends on the window, the direction of the probe points, the depth of insonation and the direction of flow in the vessel; therefore, after appropriate training an examiner can accurately identify the vessels. 3. Studies discovered that cerebral blood flow velocity is not the same in women as in men. It found that females usually have higher velocity than contemporary males without differences in pulsatility or resistance indexes. 4. Cerebral blood flow is auto-regulated, and its distribution throughout the brain depends partially on the metabolic activity of the tissue. Therefore, in actively working brains, we can expect to find higher CBF, hence higher cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) in the side with higher metabolic activity. 5. Cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFVs) are higher in younger persons. The decline in velocities is found in most series after the fifth decade, and thereafter there is a steady decrease in mean velocity in most series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
