The test is used to monitor & identify clinical conditions such as aqueduct stenosis, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), patency of third ventriculostomy & flow at the cervicomedullary junction as the flow of CSF changes during these disorders.
What is MR Brain With Csf Flow Study used for?
- To diagnose brain tumors like accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain cavities.
- To locate the presence of tumors like arachnoid cysts, chordoma in the brain.
- To detect increased or decreased CSF (brain fluid) flow and its ventriculperitoneal pressure on the brain parts.
