Popis: Better understanding of how the brain cleans itself is of high importance as its failure has been linked to various neurodegenerative diseases. A first step towards elucidating CSF-mediated clearance mechanisms is the measurement of CSF motion in the human brain. In this work, we present an imaging sequence for CSF mobility measurements employing calibration-free parallel transmission. During the imaging session, no pulse calculations or complex B1 shimming procedures are necessary, making this approach feasible for large scale patient studies.
