Summary
The most common tool for diagnosis and follow up of cerebral edema in ICU is brain CT scan that necessitate patient transportation with risk of hemodynamic instability, and exposure to radiation. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography allows true and rapid imaging of blood flow velocities of intracranial vessels. Transcranial Doppler sonography provides noninvasive evaluation of intracranial pressure by its characteristic wave patterns
