April 12, 201016 yr Dear All, I perform ultrasound of brain 13 years, and we (my younger collegues and me) use B mode and the doppler techniques. We use not only coronal section through the AF, than over PF, MF and through the temporal windov, also. And I never provoked bradicardia because never use the pressure of probe on fontanelle. And, for venous blood flow through the sinuses is very valuable linear probe. If you use doppler, particular pulse wave, You must think on ISPTA, or termal and mechanic index ( <0,4).
