Spinal CSF flow in response to forced thoracic and abdominal respiration

Spinal CSF flow in response to forced thoracic and abdominal respiration

Abstract Background Respiration-induced pressure changes represent a powerful driving force of CSF dynamics as previously demonstrated using flow-sensitive real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the sensitivity of CSF flow along the spinal canal...
