Doppler haematotachography: problems in interpretation and new applications
article
The Doppler-echographic examination (HTG) seems to be developing into a screening method for the detection of abnormalities of the large cerebropetal vessels. An appraisal is made of the possibilities and limitations of the HTG based on the literature, a group of 250 patients and several relevant case histories. In general an abnormal HTG curve seems to warrant further diagnostic investigations (angiography). A normal HTG curve can not be considered sufficient reason to omit an angiographic examination. A number of new applications of the HTG examination are mentioned.
