摘要
MRI is not only beneficial in the diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-related diseases, but also aids in planning the management and post-surgery follow-up of the patients. With recent advances in MRI systems, there are many newly developed sequences and techniques that rapidly enable evaluation of CSF-related disorders with greater accuracy. For a better assessment of this group of disorders, radiologists should follow the developments closely and should be able to apply them when necessary. In this pictorial review, the role of MRI in the evaluation of hydrocephalus, CSF diversion techniques, and other CSF disorders is illustrated.Teaching Points• The 3D-SPACE seems to be most efficient technique for evaluation of hydrocephalus and ventriculostomy.• In complex cases, PC-MRI, 3D-heavily T2W, and/or CE-MRC images may prevent false results of 3D-SPACE.• MRI is beneficial in the diagnosis and management of hydrocephalus and other CSF-related diseases. © 2014, The Author(s).
