This article presents an overview of transcranial Doppler, well known for its use as a screening tool in children with sickle cell disease. However, there are many other pediatric applications in which cranial Doppler ultrasound can supply otherwise unavailable information regarding neurovascular flow dynamics. Images illustrate examples of normal anatomy and pathologic conditions that can be evaluated with cranial Doppler ultrasound.
