Abstract
The article presents a study regarding middle cerebral artery vasospasm. The study compares the accuracies of transcranial color-added duplex sonography (TCCS) and transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) in middle cerebral artery vasospasm diagnosis. Moreover, the study concludes that the accuracy of the TCCS and TCD is the same. However, TCCS is more sensitive compared to TCD in the determination of middle cerebral artery spasm.
