The detection of circulating particulate cerebral emboli using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography has been recently reported. It has been suggested that this method might allow discrimination between different embolic materials; this would be very useful for selecting specific pharmacological treatment in individual patients. This study was designed to identify those parameters of the Doppler signal that might prove useful in discriminating between different types and sizes of particulate cerebral emboli.
