Understanding MRI Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) Flow Study
What is MRI Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) Flow Study?
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain with CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) study creates a picture of the bulk, back and forth motion of CSF along with surrounding soft tissues.
This test is prescribed by the doctor to diagnose brain tumors by checking the accumulation of excessive CSF within the brain cavities and to detect increased or decreased CSF flow.
What is MRI Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (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.
- To determine ischemia or stoke condition in which clot forms in the brain.
