Quantitative noninvasive measurement of cerebrospinal fluid flow in shunted hydrocephalus

CONCLUSIONS: The PC-MRI sequence provided accurate and reliable clinical measurements of CSF flow in shunt-treated patients. This work provides the necessary framework to include PC-MRI as an immediate addition to the clinical setting in the noninvasive evaluation of shunt function and in future clinical investigations of CSF physiology.PMID:38564811 | DOI:10.3171/2023.7.JNS231326
