A new highly efficient velocity imaging technique is
developed with simultaneous multi-slice EPI and zoomed
spatial resolution which enables real-time measurement
of CSF and brain velocity. Application of this 7D
imaging technique to normal subjects revealed
respiratory synchronous motion modulating cardiac
waveforms in brain parenchyma and CSF. The brain
pulsations may play a role in clearance of interstitial
fluid in the brain.
