Abstract
Flow sensitive cardiac gated phase contrast MR imaging techniques have been increasingly applied recently providing the potential for noninvasive study of CSF flow dynamics, as it can be used to differentiate between NPH and brain atrophy & to provide significant information in preoperative evaluation of NPH and the prediction of the benefit from surgery. The aim of this study is to differentiate between NPH and brain atrophy by characterizing the pattern of CSF flow in aqueduct of Sylvius. 40 patients were enrolled in our study, including 30 patients with overlapping symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus and involutional brain changes and 10 healthy volunteers without any clinical symptoms and normal imaging findings.
