Echo contrast agents have been shown to provide conclusive examinations in most patients with insufficient ultrasound penetration through the temporal bone. We investigated the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced (CE) transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and insufficient temporal windows and evaluated TCCD criteria that predict whether CE-TCCD studies may become conclusive.
