A Study to Compare CSF Flow Metrics Across Platforms

The purpose of this research is to find out more about detecting movement of CSF (fluid around the brain) with MRI. Researchers are doing this research study to find out how measurements of CSF movement differ among MRI machines and how image quality is changed by reducing the scan time.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of flow metrics among scanners

    Time frame: February -December 2022

    Flow metrics such as average total flow will be compared among multiple MRI scanners

  2. Comparison of flow metrics between scans with and without parallel imaging

    Time frame: February -December 2022

    Flow metrics such as the average total flow will be compared between sequences acquired with and without acceleration techniques, including parallel imaging, for a given scanner
