Clinical magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of glymphatic function

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 37, Issue 8, August 2024.
The glymphatic system is a system of specialized perivascular spaces in the brain that facilitates removal of toxic waste solutes from the brain. This review discusses MRI methods that can be employed clinically for glymphatic‐related measurements intended for early diagnosis, prevention, and the treatment of various neurological conditions.
