Methods of research of blood vessels of the brain

Timely correct diagnosis of vascular pathology of the brain helps to prevent dangerous consequences for the patient's life. Every year introduced new methods of diagnosis used informative equipment. In view of the high cost of the devices is not all-known methods available in clinics. The most accurate results are obtained in specialized diagnostic centers and offices.

The most valuable information from research allows you to form an opinion on the following:

• patency of the ways of delivery of blood to the brain for the major arteries;
• the state of cerebral blood circulation;
• the degree of metabolic disorders in the brain tissue.

A careful survey of the patient, identifying the causes of disease, hereditary factors and allow the doctor to navigate, mapping and survey and recommend the appropriate method. Consider the most popular methods of research of cerebral circulation.

When you want a cerebral blood flow study

Examination of the blood vessels of the brain is assigned with different clinical manifestations and symptoms. It is important to exclude the role of cerebrovascular disease in the disease of the patient. To send to the target Clinician can under these conditions:

• complaints of frequent headaches is unclear;
• dizzy spells, fainting;
• different hearing disorders;
• reducing and limiting the field of view;
• insomnia;
• loss of memory, the impossibility of learning in children and adults;
• health when the weather changes (severe weather sensitivity);
• traumatic brain injury (for the diagnosis of concussion and brain injury);
• acute violation of cerebral circulation;
• suspected encephalopathy;
• the increase or decrease of blood pressure;
• atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels;
• vegetovascular dystonia;
• symptoms of degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine;
• suspected vertebral artery syndrome;
• migraine;
• angiopathy of the vessels in diabetes mellitus.

If necessary, examination of relatives to identify complicated by heredity and objective assessment of the effectiveness of the treatment.

When prescribed reoentsefalografii?

Reoentsefalografii (REG) is held in the office of functional diagnostics clinic. The method is based on the detection of the resistance of different tissues of the brain during the formation of the electric potential from the electrodes. The recording is on the course of the study to the ribbon, and then stands for a doctor.

The use of ultrasound in the diagnosis

The physical basis of ultrasonic methods is in the reflection effectthe sound waves from the obstacle, which are the tissues of the body. Organs, blood vessels, sections of the medulla have a density in a healthy person. The measure is pathological disorders. Accordingly, recorded signals from the return wave.

The method is applicable to study any vessel, not in need of imposing of electrodes. Widely used to study pathways of blood supply to the brain, blood vessels of the head and neck.

Echoencephalography (Echoeg) refers to simple techniques. An oscilloscope collects and detects reflected ultrasonic waves, they can be seen on the monitor in a mode online. Importance the diagnosis of displacement of brain structures, the degree of the tumors, trauma of the brain. The procedure is simple and does not require long training. Can be performed by neurosurgeons in the emergency order.
