Constructive interference in steady-state 3D Fourier-transform MRI in the management of hydrocephalus and third ventriculostomy.
We describe the use of three-dimensional Fourier transform constructive imaging in the steady state (CISS) MRI in the assessment of patients with hydrocephalus. We have found it of value both as a diagnostic investigation and in the follow-up of patients treated by third ventriculostomy.
