Power M-mode Transcranial Doppler with HDO™ Digital Processing

Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound
 

st3 Transcranial Ultrasound System —

With true Power M-mode and HDO digital processing, the ST3 Transcranial Doppler from Spencer Technologies is the preeminent TCD system. TCD Neurovascular exams and cerebral embolic monitoring with transcranial ultrasound can now be performed easily with state of the art digital technology. The ST3 Power M-mode Transcranial Doppler is an extremely accurate method of measuring cerebral blood flow velocities and a sensitive method of detecting emboli. Spencer’s ST3 TCD systems can be configured to meet your needs whether monitoring stroke patients for vasospasm, detecting cerebral emboli or detecting the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Neuroimaging, An Issue of Neurologic Clinics


The latest book, Neuroimaging, An Issue of Neurologic Clinics, by Laszlo Mechtler contains the most up to date information regarding Neurologic Clinics, and the use of transcranial Doppler (TCD).

“Since the introduction of TCD by Rune Aaslid in 1982, the most important technical advancement has been the addition of power motion-mode Doppler (PMD) to the single-channel TCD screen. Before PMD, TCD provided only spectral waveforms that were not obvious to clinicians because they had no imaging or depth-perception information attached to them, and multiple waveforms from different depths had to be put together to identify vessels and pathologic changes. PMD detects not only the presence of flow but also its depth, direction, and resistance to memorize these parameters.”

Dr. Merrill Spencer Award


Spencer Technologies is proud to announce our continuing support for the Dr. Merrill Spencer Award For the best poster presentation at the European Society of Neurosonology and Cerebral Hemodynamics (ESNCH 2009). The ESNCH meeting occurs in conjunction with the European Stroke Meeting each year. The ESNCH society is a close-knit community of physicians, scientists and engineers who carry a passion kindled by Merrill Spencer. This passion is the delight in sharing the process and rewards of inquiry into the subject of brain physiology, as characterized by understanding normal and abnormal cerebral blood flow. Dr. Spencer was a beloved member of this community for many years and fostered its growth in the role of mentor and collaborator. Spencer Technologies desires to keep the memory and spirit of Dr. Spencer’s vision for this society alive through this award. The meeting this year is in Riga, Latvia, from May 23 to 25, 2009. The award recipient will be announced on this page following the meeting.
