Abstract
This retrospective review examines the utility of phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) to calculate flow through the aqueduct between the third and fourth ventricles to estimate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production. Imaging software quantified the CSF flow rate across the aqueduct of four females and two males at a single center, and the mean of these results was compared to the established mean CSF production calculated by invasive techniques. There was no significant difference between the means, contributing to the body of literature suggesting the utility of PC-MRI in estimating CSF production rates.
