However, the velocity can decrease with long and severely narrowed vessels.

Transcranial Doppler mean flow velocities were classified as normal (30 to 99 cm\/s), high and low. Pulsatility index \u22651.2 was considered high. Focal intracranial disease was defined as \u226550% diameter reduction by the Warfarin Aspirin in Symptomatic Intracranial Disease criteria. Diffuse disease was defined as stenoses in multiple intracranial arteries, multiple segments of one artery, or a long (&gt;1 cm) stenosis in one major artery on contrast angiography (CT angiography or digital subtraction angiography) as the gold standard.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            One hundred fifty-three patients (96 men, 76% white, age 62\u00b115 years) had previous strokes (n=135) or transient ischemic attack (n=18). Transcranial Doppler detection of focal and diffuse intracranial disease had sensitivity 79.4% (95% CI: 65.8% to 93%), specificity 92.4% (95% CI: 87.7% to 97.2%), positive predictive value 75.0% (95% CI: 60.9% to 89.2%), negative predictive value 94.0% (95% CI: 89.7% to 98.3%), and overall accuracy 89.5% (95% CI: 84.5% to 94.4%). After adjustment for stroke risk factors, transcranial Doppler findings of low mean flow velocities and high pulsatility index in a single vessel were independently associated with angiographically demonstrated diffuse single vessel intracranial disease, whereas low mean flow velocities\/high pulsatility index in multiple vessels were related to multivessel intracranial disease (OR: 19.7, 95% CI: 4.8 to 81.2,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.001).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Diffuse intracranial disease may have a higher than expected frequency in a select stroke population and can be detected with noninvasive screening.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/strokeaha.107.490755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,19]],"date-time":"2007-10-19T01:18:25Z","timestamp":1192756705000},"page":"3175-3181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Noninvasive Detection of Diffuse Intracranial Disease"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Vijay K.","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Neurosonology and Stroke Research Program (V.K.S., G.T., A.Y.L., M.D.M., A.V.A.), Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Ariz; the Division of Neurology (V.K.S.), National University Hospital, Singapore; the Department of Neurology (G.T.), University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; the University of Santo Tomas (A.Y.L.), Manila, Philippines; and the Comprehensive Stroke Center (G.T., A.V.A.), University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, Ala."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georgios","family":"Tsivgoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Neurosonology and Stroke Research Program (V.K.S., G.T., A.Y.L., M.D.M., A.V.A.), Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Ariz; the Division of Neurology (V.K.S.), National University Hospital, Singapore; the Department of Neurology (G.T.), University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; the University of Santo Tomas (A.Y.L.), Manila, Philippines; and the Comprehensive Stroke Center (G.T., A.V.A.), University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, Ala."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annabelle Y.","family":"Lao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Neurosonology and Stroke Research Program (V.K.S., G.T., A.Y.L., M.D.M., A.V.A.), Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Ariz; the Division of Neurology (V.K.S.), National University Hospital, Singapore; the Department of Neurology (G.T.), University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; the University of Santo Tomas (A.Y.L.), Manila, Philippines; and the Comprehensive Stroke Center (G.T., A.V.A.), University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, Ala."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc D.","family":"Malkoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Neurosonology and Stroke Research Program (V.K.S., G.T., A.Y.L., M.D.M., A.V.A.), Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Ariz; the Division of Neurology (V.K.S.), National University Hospital, Singapore; the Department of Neurology (G.T.), University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; the University of Santo Tomas (A.Y.L.), Manila, Philippines; and the Comprehensive Stroke Center (G.T., A.V.A.), University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, Ala."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrei V.","family":"Alexandrov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Neurosonology and Stroke Research Program (V.K.S., G.T., A.Y.L., M.D.M., A.V.A.), Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Ariz; the Division of Neurology (V.K.S.), National University Hospital, Singapore; the Department of Neurology (G.T.), University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; the University of Santo Tomas (A.Y.L.), Manila, Philippines; and the Comprehensive Stroke Center (G.T., A.V.A.), University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, Ala."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/14737175.6.11.1685"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/circulationaha.105.578229"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa043033"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.0000128708.86762.d6"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alexandrov AV ed.
