[Method and use of intracranial cine MR imaging].
The authors introduce a dynamic, non-invasive MR method for the examination of liquorspaces and liquor flow in 221 patients. This method is suitable not only for a dynamic imaging of liquor-flow but also for the semi-quantitative evaluation of flow through the aqueduct. This later measurement can help to select the shuntresponsive NPH cases as well. Cine MR examination along with the routine protocol seems to be most helpful in the differential-diagnostics of different hydrocephalus cases.
