Fig 1 Tomography imaging was performed in the transfontanellar coronary plane during (A) regional cerebral perfusion (three-dimensional color Doppler) and (B) total body perfusion (three-dimensional power Doppler).

Fig 2 Three-dimensional imaging was performed with color Doppler during regional cerebral perfusion: (A) axial section; (B) glass-body rendering.

Fig 3 Individual cerebral vessel imaging was performed with two-dimensional Doppler sonography during regional cerebral perfusion. (A) Transtemporal color and pulse-wave Doppler including angle correction: measurement of mean time average velocity (TAV) in right medial cerebral artery (MCA). (B) Transfontanellar parasagittal plane, color and pulse-wave Doppler: measurement of mean TAV in anterior cerebral artery (ACA). (C) Transfontanellar middle sagittal plane, power Doppler: basilar artery (BA) and communication with circle of Willis. (D) Transfontanellar coronary plane, color and pulse-wave Doppler: communicating circle of Willis. Red indicates antegrade flow in right internal carotid artery (ICA); blue indicates retrograde flow in left ICA, confirmed by pulse-wave Doppler.

Fig 4 Cerebral time average velocity: total body perfusion (TBP) and regional cerebral perfusion (RCP). (Open bars = anterior cerebral artery [ACA] right; gray bars = ACA left; vertically striped bars = medial cerebral artery [MCA] right; horizontally striped bars = MCA left; light crossed bars = internal carotid artery [ICA] right; dark crossed bars = ICA left; crosshatched bars = basilar artery [BA]; circles indicate outliers; stars indicate extremes.)

(Solid bars = rSO2 right; open bars = rSO2 left; circle indicates outliers; stars indicate extremes.)
