Camilla had a Transcranial Doppler done earlier today. We are hopeful for a more positive and favourable result.

Transcranial doppler ultrasound (TCD) is a non-invasive ultrasound method used to examine the blood circulation within the brain. Your doctor has recommended that you have this test to determine the amount of blood flow to certain areas of your brain.During TCD, inaudible (cannot be heard) sound waves are transmitted through the tissues of the skull. These sound waves reflect off blood cells moving within the blood vessels, allowing the radiologist to interpret their speed and direction. The sound waves are recorded and displayed on a computer screen.

TCD ultrasound images help in the diagnosis of a wide range of conditions affecting blood flow to the brain and within the brain.

TCD ultrasound may be used with other diagnostic procedures or by itself.

The Neurologist who did the Procedure earlier was Dr.Leonard Pascual and is highly Recommended by our Neuro Pedia Dra.Bernadette Terencio.

Dra.Terencio said that we needed this test done to know how soon should we schedule the operation.
