Figure 2 A change in the quality of the waveform when the left middle cerebral artery (L-MCA) is interrogated from a depth of 50 to 55 mm. PI = Pulsatility index (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).

Figure 3 Example of mean flow velocities of the L-MCA, BA, and R-MCA. The color Doppler flow tracings demonstrate an L-MCA at a velocity of 87.0 cm/s at a depth of 50 mm and a PI of 1.50, BA velocity of 51.2 cm/s at a depth of 70 mm with a PI of 1.29, and an R-MCA velocity of 92.4 cm/s at a depth of 50 mm with a PI of L-MCA = Left middle cerebral artery; R-MCA = right middle cerebral artery; BA = basilar artery; PI = pulsatility index (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).

Figure 4 First 24 hr transcranial Doppler results in a 4-year-old girl admitted to hospital for a severe traumatic brain injury. L-MCA = Left middle cerebral artery; PI = pulsatility index; BA = basilar artery; R-MCA = right middle cerebral artery; L-EX-ICA = left extracranial internal carotid artery; R-EX-ICA = right extracranial internal carotid artery (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).

Figure 5 First 24 hr transcranial Doppler results in a 15-year-old boy admitted to hospital for a severe traumatic brain injury. L-MCA = Left middle cerebral artery; PI = pulsatility index; BA = basilar artery; R-MCA = right middle cerebral artery; L-EX-ICA = left extracranial internal carotid artery; R-EX-ICA = right extracranial internal carotid artery (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).
