CSF Flow Analysis Using Cine MRI in Patients with Hydrocephalic States
Conference paper
Abstract
Recent advances in MRI techniques have enabled us to visualize the movements of craniospinal fluid using fast imaging with heart triggering. This is referred to as MRI Cine technique with multiphase imaging. Using this method, signal changes are observed in a heart cycle. We evaluated MRI signals in patients with enlarged ventricles and hydrocephalic states by plotting signal changes on MRI Cine images.
