The role of sonography is being changed nowadays due to the progress and logistic changes in acute diagnostics in stroke care. In the acute phase of stroke, CT angiography is basic to enable start treatment as soon as possible. Nevertheless, sonographic examination has a lot to offer, not only in the acute, but also subacute period of stroke treatment. Neurosonology is irreplaceable in secondary prevention, as well as in primary prevention of stroke. We summarize contemporary clinical importance of the examination in all phases of stroke care.

Keywords: neurosonology, transcranial duplex sonography, atherosclerosis, carotid stenosis, secondary stroke prevention, primary stroke prevention.
