Background: The demographics of the stroke population consist mainly of elderly patients. Transcranial Doppler is aneffective method for intracranial flow detection, but can be limited due to the poor temporal window (PTW), which isfrequent in the elderly. Therefore, we investigated whether the low frequency 1.6-MHz probe can be useful to improveflow detection for PTW. Methods: All 201 participants had a history of transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke. Firstly, we analyzed thesuccess rate of recording intracranial blood flow via temporal window by using 2.0-MHz (high frequency, HF) and1.6-MHz (low frequency, LF) probes for a maximum of 10 minutes. Secondly, mean flow velocity (MFV) and pulsatileindex (PI) of insonated spectrum of 25 patients with good temporal window were compared between the two probes. Results: Seventy-eight patients were female and the mean age was 64.1±12.4 years. Among 402 windows, 125 (31.1%)were undetected when using the 2.0-MHz probe. Fifty-five patients were detected for the spectrum by the 1.6-MHzprobe. However, 70 (17.4%) still remained as PTW. Between the two probes, there were no significant differences ofvariables from the middle cerebral arteries: MFVs (HF 61.0±14.1 vs. LF 61.3±14.8 cm/sec, p=0.403 in the right; HF59.6±13.4 vs. LF 59.3±13.3 cm/sec, p=0.232 in the left) and PIs (HF 0.82±0.17 vs. LF 0.82±0.18, p=0.929 in the right; HF0.82±0.20 vs. LF 0.83±0.17, p=0.605 in the left). Conclusions: Conventional 2.0-MHz probe had relatively high proportion of PTW but 1.6- MHz probe was feasible toimprove flow detection for PTW.
