Acute ischemic stroke diagnosis using brain tissue pulsations

This study is the first to explore the clinical potential of measuring BTPs using ultrasound in acute ischemic stroke patients.BTPs were measured in 24 healthy volunteers (aged 52 –82 years) and 14 acute ischemic stroke patients (aged 51–86 years) using a novel Transcranial Tissue Doppler (TCTD) method. Measurements were quick to perform and were well tolerated by all subjects.
