Background: In the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, the pulsations of cerebral arteries and brain is considered the main driving force for the reciprocating bidirectional CSF movements. However, measuring these complex CSF movements on conventional flow-related MRI methods is difficult. We tried to visualize and quantify the CSF motion by using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI with low multi-b diffusion-weighted imaging.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated the intracranial physiological parameters, blood flow-related parameters, and brain morphology in the HDT (-6° and -12°) and the horizontal supine (HS) positions. Seven and 15 healthy subjects were scanned for each position using 3.
