It should be noted that even though long-term tracer movement derives from CSF flow, they are not synonymous. c Grade 2: Transient enrichment of lateral ventricles about 6h after tracer administration. Brain. Tracer enrichment of cerebral ventricles was graded 04 by visual assessment. The traditional approach has a greater risk of including border zone pixel with partial volume effects than our pixel-based method. We would like to stress that the presently reported volumes of CSF flow in cerebral aqueduct and cranio-cervical junction are derived from cardiac-gated phase-contrast MRI during daytime in wake individuals lying flat.
