Inside this resource
Doppler physics and instrumentation fundamentals
The program opens with Doppler principles and the Doppler equation, interrogation angles, and the full range of instrumentation — pulsed wave, continuous wave, color Doppler, and power Doppler. Optimization of system controls and artifact recognition form the technical foundation before moving into neuroanatomy.
TCD neuroanatomy and waveform analysis
Normal intracranial flow characteristics and velocity ranges are covered alongside TCD window anatomy. The course addresses vasospasm evaluation, subarachnoid hemorrhage assessment, aneurysm rupture findings, and arteriovenous malformation identification — each paired with spectral waveform examples.
Clinical applications and advanced topics
Advanced sessions cover emboli monitoring, cerebral circulatory arrest, sickle cell disease assessment, traumatic head injury evaluation, and patent foramen ovale detection. TCD examination techniques for stenosis, collateral competency, and neurointervention round out the clinical curriculum.
Who this serves
- Sonographers — develop competency in TCD scanning techniques and waveform interpretation
- Neurologists — strengthen skills for evaluating vasospasm, emboli, and cerebrovascular disease
- Vascular surgeons and radiologists — add TCD/TCI proficiency to their diagnostic repertoire

Rachel D. –
Strong neuroanatomy section and the emboli monitoring content is practical. The microemboli and PFO detection lectures were particularly useful for my vascular lab work.
Marcus J. –
Comprehensive coverage of TCD applications. The sickle cell and traumatic head injury sections add clinical breadth beyond standard vascular neurosonology.
Wei L. –
Covers the full TCD workflow from Doppler physics through vasospasm evaluation. The 21 topics are well-distributed across the six lectures.
Hannah M. –
Good content overall but the Doppler physics section moves quickly. More waveform tracing examples would help beginners. The 3 GB download was manageable.
Elena V. –
Downloaded for the vasospasm and subarachnoid hemorrhage modules. The spectral waveform examples make the pathology patterns easy to recognize in real scans.
