dc.description.abstractBackground: Flow-related signal void artifacts can be visualized on the T2-weighted (T2W) three-dimensional sampling perfection with application-optimized contrast (3D-SPACE) sequence. Flow void artifacts in the cerebral aqueduct and the fourth ventricle can provide information about cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics. Purpose: In this study, we aimed to test the performance of the T2W 3D-SPACE sequence in assessing the CSF flow in the aqueduct and/or fourth ventricle. Material and Methods: A total of 137 patients (age range = 3-89 years) who underwent CSF flow study were included. The amount of signal loss on T2W 3D-SPACE due to flow in the aqueduct and fourth ventricle was assessed and graded using a 4-point scale of 0 (absence of flow void) to 3 (signal void filling the aqueduct and entire fourth ventricle). A correlation was then sought between the quantitative values obtained by phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) and the amount of signal void in the 3D-SPACE sequence. Results: At the aqueduct level, there was a statistically significant difference in the forward flow velocity and the flow volume among different grades (all P < 0.001). In the grade 3 group, CSF peak systolic flow velocity and mean flow volume were found to be significantly higher than in the other grades (P < 0.001). The mean aqueduct area in the grade 0 group was found to be significantly different from that in the other classes (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The amount of signal loss in the fourth ventricle observed on T2W 3D-SPACE is correlated with the peak systolic velocity and flow volume measured quantitatively in PC-MRI.en_US
