This article presents a review of intracranial Doppler techniques and their potential applications. Three approaches are described for interrogating major cerebral vessels: Sagittal and coronal anterior fontanelle, and axial transcranial approaches. Their advantages and limitations are discussed. The uses of pulsatility and flow velocity measurements in estimating blood flow are explored, with emphasis on the physiologic mechanisms that may alter these measures.
