What are the benefits of using transcranial Doppler screening for children with sickle cell disease?
 Transcranial Doppler (TCD) screening has been suggested to be an effective tool for the early detection and prevention of stroke in children with sickle cell disease, as it allows for the detection of high-velocity blood flow, which can indicate a higher risk of stroke. TCD screening can also provide insight into other areas of risk associated with the disease, such as blood clotting, platelet aggregation, and the risk of hydrocephalus. Additionally, TCD screening can also help to provide early diagnosis and treatment of other complications associated with sickle cell disease, such as anemia, infection, and splenic infarction. Lastly, TCD screening has also been shown to improve outcomes in terms of stroke prevention and improved quality of life in children with sickle cell disease.
