Brain scan could replace spinal tap for predicting surgery success
NCT ID NCT01815775
Summary
This study tested whether a special type of MRI scan could predict how well patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) would respond to surgery. Currently, doctors use a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) to make this prediction. Researchers wanted to see if the non-invasive MRI scan could be just as effective by measuring fluid flow in the brain.
