An MRI CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) Flow Study is a specialized MRI scan used to evaluate the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain and spinal cord. This test is commonly used to diagnose:

  •  Hydrocephalus (abnormal CSF buildup in the brain)
  • CSF flow obstructions (blockages in normal fluid movement)
  • Chiari malformation (a condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal)
  • Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) (which can cause memory loss, balance issues, and urinary incontinence)
  • Post-surgical CSF flow assessment
