4729. Simultaneous Assessment of Intracranial Artery and CSF Pulsation Using 3D Whole-brain Diffusion-prepared-bSSFP Cine MRI
C. Ni, X. Hou, K. Hashemizadeh, S-E Kim, Q. Wen, C. Yuan, X. Ma
University of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States
Impact:

Our diffusion-prepared 3D black-blood cine MRI visualizes artery and CSF pulsation simultaneously, reduces scan time, and circumvents image registration. It allows for comprehensive evaluation of vascular function and CSF dynamics, potentially facilitating the early detection and monitoring of cerebrovascular diseases.

Feng Chia University, Taichung, Taiwan
Impact: Given that DWI can be utilized to assess the circulatory condition of the parasagittal dura, our study investigates the influence of CSF on the diffusion of the parasagittal dura using both FLAIR-DWI and conventional DWI across low and high b-values.

4735. Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow is Locked to ­­Spontaneous BOLD Signal Fluctuations in the Subarachnoid Space and Ventricles
D. Chen, F. Wang, J. Polimeni, Z. Dong, L. Lewis
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, United States
Impact: Using a novel technique obtaining simultaneous CSF flow and BOLD signals, we observed significant CSF flow changes in subarachnoid space and ventricles during spontaneous BOLD fluctuations, establishing the role of low-frequency hemodynamics in driving whole-brain directional CSF flow.
