      Every few years, a dissertation emerges in the clinical application of medical technology, propelling us into new realms of understanding and patient care. This book serves as such a vehicle, seamlessly integrating crucial hemodynamic principles with a straightforward noninvasive method applied to a previously challenging area of the cerebral vasculature. Readers will experience a surge of excitement and hope for advancements in the field. The dedicated use of transcranial Doppler ultrasound enhances our comprehension of cerebral circulation and the management of cerebrovascular disorders. The author expresses deep gratitude to Prof. Helge Nornes of Oslo, whose introduction to cerebral hemodynamics in the early 1970s ignited a lasting interest in the subject. His pioneering work utilizing peroperative electromagnetic flowmetry and Doppler techniques laid the groundwork for the noninvasive transcranial approach to the circle of Willis discussed in this text. Additionally, the author acknowledges the enriching case discussions with Prof. Peter Huber in Bern during the initial introduction of transcranial Doppler, as well as the inspiring exchanges with Dr. Merrill P. Spencer, which further fueled this exploration into cerebral circulation.
