MME TV Spot
Transcranial Doppler: How do I know I am looking at the MCA?
This MME TV spot was created for Cardiologists, Sonographers, Radiologists, and Vascular Surgeons.
The transcranial Doppler exam can be intimidating when you do not do them very often. How do I know that I am looking at the correct vessel? Dr. Shepherd gives us a brief description of the position and flow direction of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery and the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery. Using the temporal window he discusses imaging depth and flow direction to give you a hint on where you are.
