Clinical application of phase contrast mri technique in the evaluation csf flow dynamics
Main Article Content
Abstract
SUMMARY
Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) recently used as a reliable method for evaluating both qualitative and quantitative CSF flow. Phase-contrast MRI has often been used for the evaluation of normal pressure hydrocephalus, communicating and
non-communicating hydrocephalus, arachnoid cyst, Chiari I malformations and syringomyelia, response to endoscopic third ventriculostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP-shunt). This review introduces: the PC MRI technique, CSF physiology and cerebrospinal space anatomy, to describe a group of congenital and acquired disorders that can alter the CSF dynamics.
