背景情况:
- 阻塞性和通讯性水头的确切病理生理学,特别是关于第三腹腔中脑脊液 (CSF) 动态,仍然不完全理解.
- 目前,对于选择腹腔皮切除术 (VPS) 和内镜第三腹腔切除术 (ETV) 之间的标准还没有明确定义.
研究的目的:
- 使用四维流动MRI (4D流动MRI) 评估脑脊液动力学在水头.
- 为了提高对水脑病理生理学的理解.
- 提供数据以指导手术干预的选择 (VPS与ETV).
主要方法:
- 使用了5厘米/秒的速度编码的4D流式MRI.
- 在VPS和ETV之前和之后评估了CSF动态,包括速度向量,流线和旋转率.
- 这项研究包括了患有阻塞性水脑和通讯性水脑的患者.
主要成果:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
9.0K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Cerebrospinal Fluid
5.2K
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless liquid that flows around the brain and the spinal cord, playing a vital role in the protection, support, and overall function of the central nervous system (CNS). CSF production, circulation, and absorption are tightly regulated processes essential for the brain and spinal cord to function properly.
CSF Production
CSF is produced mainly in the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries and ependymal cells located within the ventricular system of the brain....

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles
8.0K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

Uniform Depth Channel Flow
524
Uniform depth channel flow keeps fluid depth consistent along channels such as irrigation canals. In natural channels, such as rivers, approximate uniform flow is often assumed. This condition occurs when the channel’s bottom slope matches the energy slope, balancing potential energy lost from gravity with head loss due to shear stress. This balance prevents depth changes along the channel length, resulting in a steady, uniform flow.Uniform flow in open channels with a constant cross-section...
