Sickle Cell Disease in Children: Accuracy of Imaging Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography in Detection of Intracranial Arterial Stenosis

This study aimed to determine the accuracy of imaging transcranial Doppler sonography in detection of intracranial arterial stenosis in children with sickle cell disease using three-dimensional MR angiography as a reference standard. Sixty-one children (mean age 102±39 months, 30 males), who had no...

Zusammenfassung:This study aimed to determine the accuracy of imaging transcranial Doppler sonography in detection of intracranial arterial stenosis in children with sickle cell disease using three-dimensional MR angiography as a reference standard. Sixty-one children (mean age 102±39 months, 30 males), who had no history of overt stroke, and were classified as at lowest risk of stroke by mean flow velocity criterion
