The Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is also extremely valuable for monitoring cerebrovascular hemodynamics to help detect sudden changes in perfusion and identify potential embolic events. Emboli are small particles of foreign matter (air, clots, etc.) within the bloodstream that can potentially cause obstructions in cerebral arteries, which can cause ischemic stroke.

SONARA digital TCD systems are designed to offer both diagnostic and monitoring evaluations of the cerebral vasculature thereby assisting the physician in enhancing patient care. Doppler sensitivity, intuitive touch screen user interface, customized protocols, and partially automated specialty tests are a few examples of the SONARA's time saving features.

M-mode in Diagnostic mode serves as an optimal acoustic window finder and vessel locator to enable quicker examination time. The M-mode in conjunction with the multi-depth display provides a hemodynamic overview of the circle of Willis thus assisting clinicians in their diagnosis. Utilizing advanced graphics, customizable Spectral Summary Reports offer right to left comparison facilitating identification of potential anomalies. Daily Exam Trending feature helps the clinician manage the course of patient treatment, for example, identifying potentially critical phases of vasospasm. The SONARA TCD system gives the physician and researchers access to patient data in multiple export formats.
