Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Ventricular enlargement and abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation are closely associated in communicating hydrocephalus (NPH), yet their causal relationship remains unclear. Studying healthy populations may help clarify these mechanisms.

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a medium for nutrient delivery and waste clearance. The T1 relaxation rate, R1, can be used to measure the concentration of intrinsic solutes and extrinsic contrast agents. Purpose To implement a method for R1 mapping and segmentation of CSF and to use this method to explore how R1 of CSF relates ...

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.This study retrospectively analysed eight years of neonatal spinal ultrasound data from a major Australian children's hospital to assess the value of imaging for simple sacral dimples. Out of 448 scans, 195 were for an isolated simple dimple, and only two infants (1%) were found to have spinal dysraphism, both with other congenital anomalies.
