Opis

With Transcranial Colour Sonography (TCCS), developed at the end of the 1980s, the sonographic diagnostic spectrum for the central nervous system could be extended considerably. In intensive care and emergency situations an overview of the cerebral vascular system can be obtained extremely quickly.
