Comparison of a Portable and Non-Portable Ultrasound Machine in the Evaluation of Children with Sickle Cell Disease: A Pilot Study
Background: Transcranial color Doppler (TCCD) ultrasound is used to identify children with sickle cell disease (SCD) at high risk of developing stroke. There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that different ultrasound equipment can give different blood flow velocities. The purpose of this study was t...
