Method and system for display of medical image data

Multiple cardiac gated, flow encoded, 2DFT MR images are acquired transversely in the vicinity of the foramen magnum of a subject. For each resulting 2D image parametric images depicting cephalad CSF flow caudad CSF flow and CSF throughput are reconstructed and displayed. CSF velocity images are rec...

More Information
Summary:Multiple cardiac gated, flow encoded, 2DFT MR images are acquired transversely in the vicinity of the foramen magnum of a subject. For each resulting 2D image parametric images depicting cephalad CSF flow caudad CSF flow and CSF throughput are reconstructed and displayed. CSF velocity images are reconstructed at successive cardiac phases and CSF flow velocity at each voxel therein is plotted as a function of cardiac phase. Cumulative flow images are also reconstructed and successive voxel values therein are also plotted. A link is established between displayed plotted curves and locations in the parametric images to facilitate diagnosis of Chiari I disease.
