| Abstract | OBJECT: New approaches for understanding CSF motion in healthy individuals and patients with hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation are presented. The velocity and the pressure gradient of CSF motion were determined using phase contrast (PC) MRI. METHODS: The authors examined 11 healthy control subjects and 2 patients (1 with hydrocephalus and 1 with Chiari malformation), using 4-dimensional PC (4D-PC) MRI and a newly developed computer analysis method that includes calculation of the pressure gradient from the velocity field. Sagittal slices including the center of the skull and coronal slices of the foramen of Monro and the third ventricle were used. RESULTS: In the ventricular system, mixing and swirling of the CSF was observed in the third ventricle. The velocity images showed that the CSF was pushed up and back down to the adjacent ventricle and then returned again to the third ventricle. The CSF traveled bidirectionally in the foramen of Monro and sylvian aqueduct. Around the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricle, the CSF motion was stagnant and the CSF pressure gradient was lower than at the other locations. An elevated pressure gradient was observed in the basal cistern of the subarachnoid space. Sagittal imaging showed that the more prominent pressure gradients originated around the cisterna magna and were transmitted in an upward direction. The coronal image showed a pressure gradient traveling from the central to the peripheral subarachnoid spaces that diminished markedly in the convexity of the cerebrum. The 2 patients, 1 with secondary hydrocephalus and 1 with Chiari malformation, were also examined. CONCLUSIONS: The observed velocity and pressure gradient fields delineated the characteristics of the CSF motion and its similarities and differences among the healthy individuals and between them and the 2 patients. Although the present results did not provide general knowledge of CSF motion, the authors' method more comprehensively described the physiological properties of the CSF in the skull than conventional approaches that do not include measurements of pressure gradient fields. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
