Abstract

Using a rapid Fourier SSFP imaging technique, which is sensitive to slow flow (approximately 1 mm/sec) in the plane of the image, we obtained 135 brain MRI examinations. The CSF flow/motion patterns were mapped by two images with orthogonal in plane flow sensitivity directions. Analysis showed significant deviations from the "normal" pattern in ventricular enlargements because of obstruction (no evidence of CSF flow/motion) or in normal pressure hydrocephalus (complex, intensive flow pattern in lateral ventricles) suggesting a diagnostic potential for this fast imaging technique.
