NewsST3 on NBC Report
The Spencer Technologies ST3 was recently featured in an NBC report on the possible link between PFO and migraine. Neuroimaging, An Issue of Neurologic ClinicsThe 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. —This book can be ordered from Elsevier at: www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781437705041 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.
