Abstract		In the heart of Europe the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, full professor of mathematics and practical geometry at the Prague Institute of Technology, laid the foundations for the Doppler effect on 25 May 1842 with his work entitled Ueber das farbige Licht der Dopplersterne und einiger anderer Gestirne des Himmels. The first descriptions of ultrasonographic investigation using the Dop- pler effect reach back into the early 60 s. In 1960 Satomura and Kaneko first described the application of ultrasound in diagnosing vascular disturbances. Five years later Miyazaki and Kato presented the possibilities of applying the Doppler method in the extracranial carotid trunk. In the 70s the technical development allowed flow mapping of the carotid trunk ultrasonographic arteriography with the con- tinuous ultrasonic wave (Spencer, Ried) or pulsed ultrasound (Mozersky). In 1974 Barber was the first to describe the visualization of the inner wall of a vessel by the combined use of the ultrasonic B-scan and Doppler ultrasound in so-called duplex systems. In 1982 Aaslid and coworkers laid the foundations for transcranial Doppler ultrasonography by introducing low frequency pulsed Doppler ultrasound (2 MHz). Threedimensional (3D) reconstructive techniques were already used years ago in various imaging investigations, particularly in computed tomography CT and magnetic resonance MR. The beginnings of 3D ultrasonography are found initially in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. In 1982 Geiser and coworkers first demonstrated a 3D reconstruction of the heart ventricle in and adult. Ten years later Franceschi, Bondi and Rubin were among the first to present the possibility of applying 3D vascular ultrasonography. More and more 3D ultrasonography is confirming its significance in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases. (Abstracts truncated at 2000 characters).
