Transcranial Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect circulating cerebral emboli. Recent studies have demonstrated that embolus size is significantly related to both the relative intensity increase and duration of an embolic signal. This may allow information about embolus size to be obtained by analysis of Doppler embolic signals. However, theoretically duration will be inversely related to velocity, and therefore velocity may need to be accounted for if information on embolus size is to be derived from the duration of Doppler embolic signals.
