The use of transcranial Doppler (TCD) is well established in the evaluation of many neurovascular conditions; however its use in cerebral vasculitis is less well documented.

Ultrasound has the highest resolution among the imaging techniques that are in use for the diagnosis of vasculitis. High-frequency probes provide an axial and a lateral resolution of 0.1 mm. Ultrasound depicts well the artery wall and provides information about blood flow characteristics.
