A Study to Compare CSF Flow Metrics Across Platforms

N/ACompletedNCT05221918

Mayo Clinic10 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this research is to find out more about detecting movement of CSF (fluid around the brain) with MRI. Researchers are doing this research study to find out how measurements of CSF movement differ among MRI machines and how image quality is changed by reducing the scan time.
