| Abstract;To success the treatment option that has been developed in recent years for acute phase of ischemic stroke, it is essential to evaluate vascular lesions at the cerebral arteries and diagnose the subtype quickly. Ultrasonographic examinations are particularly important in ischemic stroke patients, because they are non-invasive and can be performed repeatedly at the bedside. Neurosonological examinations such as Duplex carotid sonography and transcranial Doppler or transcranial color Duplex sonography are used for diagnose the occlusion site and subtypes, and transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography are used for exploring embolic sources in the heart and aortic arch and to look for underlying heart diseases. New advanced technology such as transoral carotid ultrasonography or echo contrast medium are now available. Contrast harmonic imaging is a novel technique for observing the state of brain perfusion, but it needs further study. In conclusion, it is recommend that all ischemic stroke patients to be underwent nourosonology and echocardiography immediately after onset. (author abst.) |
