The submandibular acoustic insonation window is used to study neck vessels (inter­nal carotid artery (ICA)).

7.3 Arteries oftheBrain: Anatomy andUltrasound
The goal of transcranial Doppler (TCD) combined with the transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) is an integral approach to measure the velocities of the cerebral blood ow (CBF) in the circle of Willis.
A deep understanding of cerebral vascular anatomy and its common anatomical variations is an absolute prerequisite to interpret TCD/TCCS.
7.3.1 Cerebral Circulation: Circle ofWillis (Fig.7.11)
The circle of Willis is an anastomotic vascular structure located at the base of the brain (around the interpeduncular cistern) constituted by two large arterial systems: The anterior circulation system is supplied by both internal carotid arteries and the posterior circulation system, which consists of the vertebrobasilar arterial system.
This vascular structure is often asymmetric with absent and/or hypoplastic ves­sels (51%) on its conformation and anatomical presentation. Between 20% and 49% of the population have anatomical variations in the circle of Willis [15, 18].

7.3.1.2 Anterior Circulation
Carotid System
The carotid arteries originate bilaterally at the base of the neck from the subclavian artery. Both common carotid arteries may differ in length and origin. Right CCA is branched from the brachiocephalic trunk, and the left CCA branches directly from the aortic arch. The CCA, in the carotid triangle of neck, will then divide into the ICA and the ECA [15].
