title: [MR tomographic demonstration of liquor pulsation].
abstract: With ECG-gated FLASH-sequences motion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is demonstrated in axial slices of the zervikal vertebral column. The course of the movement is dissolved by signal enhancement of flowing structures in magnitude images and by velocity-dependent phases. It is shown with both methods, that the oscillation of the CSF within the cardiac cycle is superimposed by a directed movement, with is cranial directed in the lateral cervical subarachnoidal spaces and caudal in the ventral subarachnoidal spaces.
