Cerebrospinal fluid velocity changes of idiopathic scoliosis: a preliminary study on 3-T PC-MRI and 3D-SPACE-VFAM data

To the best of our knowledge, there is no study on 3-Tesla (3-T) phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) and three-dimensional sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip-angle evolutions (3D-SPACE-VFAM) in the evaluation of idiopathic scoliosis. This study aimed to investigate CSF abnormalities in the scoliotic spine using 3-T PC-MRI and 3D-SPACE-VFAM techniques.Thirty-four patients and 14 controls were examined with...
