Quantifying the effect of posture on intracranial physiology in humans by MRI flow studies

Abstract

The effect of posture on intracranial physiology can be quantified by MRI because posture-related changes in ICC and ICP strongly affect the dynamics of cerebral blood and CSF flows. This study provides important insight into the coupling that exists between arterial, venous, and CSF flow dynamics, and how it is affected by posture.
