Background: The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the subarachnoid space (transmantle pressure) is crucial for understanding CSF circulation and the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. This pressure can be approximated by the pressure difference across the aqueduct (ΔP). Currently, no dedicated platform exists for quantifying ΔP, and no research has been conducted on the impact of breathing on ΔP.

Different Glymphatic Kinetics in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

October 2024

From the Departments of Neuroradiology (H.U., I.E.D.K., C.Z., L.B., E.K., A.R., N.L.), Medical Center-University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.

Background And Purpose: The glymphatic (glia-lymphatic) system is a paravascular pathway for the clearance of waste metabolites including amyloid β from the brain. Serial T1 relaxation time measurements after the intrathecal injection of gadolinium-based contrast agents facilitate the analysis of the temporal dynamics that may be different in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and those without SIH.

Materials And Methods: 3D T1-weighted magnetization-prepared 2 rapid gradient echo sequences were acquired in 4 patients with SIH with proved CSF leaks and 12 patients without SIH before, 2-4, 6-8, and 24-48 hours after intrathecal gadobutrol injection.

Preliminary investigations into human neurofluid transport using multiple novel non-contrast MRI methods.

J Cereb Blood Flow Metab

December 2024

VISN 20 Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center, Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Healthcare System, Seattle, WA, USA.

We discuss two potential non-invasive MRI methods to study phenomena related to subarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion and perivascular fluid transport, and their association with sleep and aging. We apply diffusion-based intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging to evaluate pseudodiffusion coefficient, , or CSF movement across large spaces like the subarachnoid space (SAS). We also performed perfusion-based multi-echo, Hadamard encoded arterial spin labeling (ASL) to evaluate whole brain cortical cerebral blood flow (CBF) and trans-endothelial exchange () of water from the vasculature into the perivascular space and parenchyma.

Magnetic resonance imaging findings in central nervous system tuberculosis: A pictorial review.

Heliyon

April 2024

Resident PGY-1 Pathology, Department of Pathology, Bir Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is a post-primary form of tuberculosis. It has high mortality and morbidity rates despite early diagnosis and treatment. CNS tuberculosis can manifest as subacute/chronic meningitis, parenchymal tuberculous lesions, and spinal tuberculosis.

Background And Purpose: Due to high chemical shift displacement, challenges emerge at ultra-high fields when measuring metabolites using H-MRS. Our goal was to investigate how well the high SNR and high bandwidth spin-echo (HISE) technique perform at 5T for detecting target metabolites in brain tumors.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-six subjects suspected of having brain tumors were enrolled.
