Abstract

The purpose of the study  Research objective is a studying of the ultrasonographic signs of affection of main arteries of the head, by ultrasonic duplex research, for an estimation of possibilities of their complex use as markers of development of brain strokes. 218 persons, including: 60 practically healthy persons; 86 persons with essential hypertension (EH); and also 72 persons with ischemic brain stroke (IBS). Ultrasonic research was carried out with use of scanner ULTІMA PA (manufacturer — firm "Radmir", Kharkiv) with linear probe on frequency 5—12 MHz in a duplex mode. It is revealed informative ultrasonographic markers for which diagnostic coeffi cient and measures of informativity Kullback are calculated. The diagnostic tables for revealing (forecasting) of IBS, and also for diff erential diagnostics of IBS and EH are created on the basis of the received markers.
