Abstract
CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: Conventional MRI can be insufficient to depict certain pathologies of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled spaces.
STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: 3-D T2-weighted sequences and phase-contrast imaging have a high sensitivity for pathologies of the CSF-filled spaces, but are susceptible to artifacts in some cases.
METHODICAL INNOVATIONS/PERFORMANCE: Magnetic resonance (MR) cisternography directly depicts the connection between CSF-filled spaces.
