摘　　要：在奥地利,有众多结合医学研究特别是中医学的研究机构,开展了大量相关研究。最近15年来,高科技针刺的研究在奥地利格拉茨医科大学取得了重要的发展。本文介绍了高科技针刺与脑循环和经颅多普勒超声检查(transcranial Doppler,TCD)。TCD很早就被用于各种基础和临床研究,近10年来被广泛用于衡量各种针刺疗法的疗效。根据多普勒的原理,超声波通过作用于给脑部供血的血管获取针刺引起的脑部血流动力学变化的信息。本文介绍了与针刺相关的TCD技术的基本概念,以及针刺刺激对脑部血流动力学的特异性影响。It is little known that Austria has trad medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine tion in research in Chinese integrative For more than 15 years, the research concerning high-tech acupuncture has been playing an important role at the Medical University of Graz, Austria. Within this review article, a short summary concerning high-tech acupuncture and cerebral circulation, and transcranial Doppler （TCD） sonography is presented. TCD has been extensively used in various basic and clinical situations, and in the last decade has established its role also as a tool of investigating the effects of various acupuncture methods. Based on the Doppler principle, it uses ultrasound waves to insonate the blood vessels supplying the brain and to obtain stimulation-induced changes of hemodynamic information. The purpose of this review is to present the basic concepts of TCD technique in relation to acupuncture research, and the specific effects on cerebral hemodynamics caused by acupuncture stimulation.
