A vast majority of current radiogical techniques, such as computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have great potencial of vizualization and delineation of cerebrospinal fuid spaces morphology within cerebral aqueduct. The aim of this study was to determine the possibilities of two differently acquired FISP (Fast Imaging with Steady State Precession) 2D MR sequences in the estimation of the pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow intensity through the normal cerebral aqueduct.
