ABSTRACT
Development of innovative non-invasive neuroimaging methods and biomarkers are critical for studying brain disease. In this work, we have developed a methodology to characterize the frequency responses and spatial localization of oscillations and movements of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the human brain. Using 7 Tesla human MRI and ultrafast echo-planar imaging (EPI), in-vivo images were obtained to capture CSF oscillations and movements. Physiological data was simultaneously collected and correlated with the 7T MR data. The primary components of CSF oscillations were identified using spectral analysis (with frequency bands identified around 0.3Hz, 1.2Hz and 2.4Hz) and were mapped spatially and temporally onto the MR image domain and temporally onto the physiological domain. The developed methodology shows a good consistency and repeatability (standard deviation of 0.052 and 0.078 for 0.3Hz and 1.2Hz bands respectively) in-vivo for potential brain dynamics and CSF flow and clearance studies.
