title: Changes in cerebral ventricular dimensions related to the cardiac cycle as seen with gated magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: The dynamic changes in ventricular dimensions related to the cardiac cycle were evaluated by analyzing gated magnetic resonance images in normal volunteers and in several patients with ventriculomegaly. Small variations in dimensions of the lateral and third ventricles were observed shortly after cardiac systole.
