Preservation of adequate blood [[flow]] and exclusion of flow from lesions are key concepts of [[vascular neurosurgery]].

Vascular studies use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of [[blood flow]] in your blood vessels. A small handheld probe ([[transducer]]) is pressed against your skin. The sound waves move through your skin and other body tissues to the blood vessels. The sound waves echo off of the blood cells.
