Optimization of phase-contrast MRI shunt flow measurement across multiple scanners for the management of hydrocephalus.
OBJECTIVE Ventricular shunts divert CSF in patients with hydrocephalus, often providing lifesaving intervention. Untreated shunt failure can lead to increased intracranial pressure and subsequent neurological injury. Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) is a noninvasive technique to assess shunt function by measuring shunt flow...
