  • Title: Volumetric relief map for intracranial cerebrospinal fluid distribution analysis.
    Author: Lebret A, Kenmochi Y, Hodel J, Rahmouni A, Decq P, Petit É.
    Journal: Comput Med Imaging Graph; 2015 Sep; 44():26-40. PubMed ID: 26125975.
    Abstract:
    Cerebrospinal fluid imaging plays a significant role in the clinical diagnosis of brain disorders, such as hydrocephalus and Alzheimer's disease. While three-dimensional images of cerebrospinal fluid are very detailed, the complex structures they contain can be time-consuming and laborious to interpret. This paper presents a simple technique that represents the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid distribution as a two-dimensional image in such a way that the total fluid volume is preserved. We call this a volumetric relief map, and show its effectiveness in a characterization and analysis of fluid distributions and networks in hydrocephalus patients and healthy adults.
