Various orders of binomial spatial modulation of magnetization sequences up to (1 4 6 4 1) have been tested to find the optimum sequence for clinical application. Stripe width, stripe sharpness and the tolerance of the sequences to radiofrequency non-linearity have been investigated. The (1 3 3 1) sequence was found to be a good compromise between competing design criteria, and its application to viewing pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid motion is described.

Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and subarachnoid space occlusion following traumatic spinal cord injury in the pig: an investigation using magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes spinal cord swelling and occlusion of the subarachnoid space (SAS). SAS occlusion can change pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, which could have acute clinical management implications. This study aimed to characterise SAS occlusion and investigate CSF dynamics over 14 days post-SCI in the pig.

Background And Purpose: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics disorder as evidenced by the delayed ascent of radiotracers over the cerebral convexity on radionuclide cisternography. However, the exact mechanism causing this disruption remains unclear. Elucidating the pathophysiology of iNPH is crucial, as it is a treatable cause of dementia.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion and pulsatility has been proposed to play a crucial role in clearing brain waste. Although its driving forces remain debated, increasing evidence suggests that large amplitude vasomotion drives such CSF fluctuations. Recently, a fast blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI sequence was used to measure the coupling between CSF fluctuations and low-frequency hemodynamic oscillations in the human cortex.

Purpose: To evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics and volume changes of pulsatile tinnitus (PT) patients induced by sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence (SSWD) with intracranial hypertension.
Methods: Thirty-five SSWD-PT patients coexisted with intracranial hypertension and 35, age-, gender-, and handedness-matched healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled and performed MRI. Clinical data were collected.

Background: Hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain, is often treated via a shunt system to divert the excess CSF to a different compartment; if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications and permanent brain damage. It is estimated that one in every 500 people are born with hydrocephalus. Despite more than 60 years of concerted efforts, shunts still have the highest failure rate of any neurological device requiring follow-up shunt revision surgeries and contributing to the $2 billion cost of hydrocephalus care in the US alone.
