Cerebrovascular diseases pose a serious threat to human survival and quality of life and represent a major cause of human death and disability. Recently, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases has increased yearly. Rapid and accurate diagnosis and evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases are of great importance to reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of cerebrovascular diseases. With the rapid development of medical ultrasound, the clinical relationship between ultrasound imaging technology and the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases has become increasingly close. Ultrasound techniques such as transcranial acoustic angiography, doppler energy imaging, three-dimensional craniocerebral imaging and ultrasound thrombolysis are novel and valuable techniques in the study of cerebrovascular diseases. In this review, we introduce some of the new ultrasound techniques from both published studies and ongoing trials that have been confirmed to be convenient and effective methods. However, additional evidence from future studies will be required before some of these techniques can be widely applied or recommended as alternatives.
脑血管病严重威胁人类的生存和生活质量，是人类致死、致残的主要原因之一。近年来，脑血管病的发病率呈逐年上升趋势。快速、准确地诊断和评估脑血管病对于降低脑血管病的发病率、致残率和致死率具有重要意义。随着医学超声技术的飞速发展，超声成像技术与脑血管病的诊断和治疗的临床关系日益密切。经颅声学造影、多普勒能量成像、三维颅脑血管成像及超声溶栓等超声新技术是脑血管病研究中的新颖而有价值的技术。本综述从发表的研究和正在进行的试验中介绍了一些已被证实为方便有效的新技术。然而，在某些技术能够被广泛应用或推荐作为替代方法之前，还需要来自未来研究的更多证据。
