Functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound (fTCD) is a non-invasive, reliable and valid neuroimaging technique for the measurement of event-related changes in blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral arteries. It is being applied in adults and children for the assessment of cerebral laterality of different cognitive functions, mainly language. Data collection is relatively undemanding, while data analysis can be performed using sophisticated statistical software that have been developed to allow for the quick and automated processing of fTCD data. In the present review, the technical characteristics of fTCD, the tasks used for the assessment of cerebral laterality for language, as well as the process of data collection and analysis are presented, while the review concludes with a brief evaluation of the method.
