Transcranial sonography (TCS) has been proven to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of extrapyramidal disorders, supplementing clinical and pathophysiological information that may be obtained by other neuroimaging techniques. Growing interest and increased application of TCS in extrapyramidal disorders require adherence to standardised principles concerning examination procedure and parameter settings of the ultrasound machine in order to ensure comparable results. This article provides an overview of these principles and typical findings in distinct extrapyramidal disorders.
