Abstract
Twelve patients with insufficient transcranial Doppler signal underwent tra nscranial color-coded ultrasonography before and after administration of SH U 508A with different modes of administration. Clinically useful enhanceme nt time after bolus injection was surpassed by that after standard infusion (1 mL/min), whereas further prolongation was observed after individualized infusion. Intravenous infusion of SH U 508A provides a prolonged useful en hancement compared with that after bolus injection.
