IS AQUEDUCTAL STROKE VOLUME, MEASURED WITH CINE PHASE-CONTRAST MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SCANS USEFUL IN PREDICTING OUTCOME OF SHUNT SURGERY IN SUSPECTED NORMAL PRESSURE HYDROCEPHALUS?

Abstract

The data from this study show no evidence that cine phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging measurements of SV in the cerebral aqueduct are useful for selecting patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus symptoms to shunt surgery.
