  It is still debated how breathing interacts with the CSF. New Phase contrast
MRI sequence based on Echo Planar imaging (EPI-PC) can now produce continuously
during minutes a velocity map, more or less every 100 ms. We did not found in
the literature quantitative evaluation of the CSF stroke volume change during
breathing. The aim of this work is to quantify CSF dynamics change in the
aqueduct and in the spinal canal during the breathing and cardiac period using
EPI-PC.
