Abstract
Recognition that disorder of the carotid arteries can cause transient cerebral ischaemia and strokes and that these disorders can be prevented by surgical intervention has enhanced the value of diagnostic procedures which assess the adequacy of the blood supply to the brain. Direct flow measurements in the cerebral circulation have traditionally been both difficult and hazardous, although recent advances in transcutaneous Doppler flowmeters are rapidly reversing this situation. Pressure measurements have generally been more feasible; namely, in the eye and the arm.
