Analysis Of The Effective Rate Of Temporal Bone Acoustic Window And Measurement Of Cerebral Blood Flow According To Sex And Age In Transcranial Color Coded Doppler
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate blood flow measurements and the effective rate of temporal bone by transcranial color coded doppler (TCCD) in adult males and females.
Methods: One hundred fifty-two patients who underwent the TCCD were enrolled. The subjects were those with normal blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). The left and right effective rate of temporal bone were classified by the presence or absence of blood flow measurement, and the blood flow measurement was measured by dividing the left and right middle cerebral artery (MCA) into distal, mid, and proximal parts. The obtained data was analyzed for significance using a statistical program.
Results: The effective rate of temporal bone was the lowest in females over 50 compared to other controls (p<0.05). The peak systolic velocity (PSV) and the end diastolic velocity (EDV) were measured higher in distal MCA in females than in males (p <0.05). The mean velocity (MV) was significantly lower in both males and females in over 50 (p <0.05).
Conclusions: We confirmed that sex and age influenced cerebral blood velocity and blood flow by TCCD. The temporal bones involved in bone metabolism by menopause in females influenced effect on the effective rate of it.
