I: CINE-MRI measures CSF flow rates and velocities.
II: Discrete MR images converted to 3-D surface meshes.
What is CSF pressure?
Why does CSF pulsate?
Do abnormalities in vessel, tissue, CSF interaction contribute to CSF-related disorders?
Why is the treatment ineffective?

An abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leads to a condition known asHydrocephalusHydrocephalus. Over 150,000 people are diagnosed with this disease in the U.S. each year.Modeling additional information not offered by imaging may lead to better treatment.

Objectives:
• Investigate complex mechanical interaction between major components of centralnervous system
• Quantify mechanical properties of brain tissue, cerebral vasculature, and CSF
• Advance understanding of central nervous system physics
