In the prospective study of 36 patients following severe head injury a close relationship was found between cerebral blood flow velocity measuredby transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and cerebral blood flow measured by xenon enhanced computed tomography. The relationship was presentonly at the earliest time after injury and was dissolved within 24 hours. The presented study documents a possible application of transcranial Dopplerultrasonography in detection of posttraumatic hypoperfusion early after brain injury.
