Using 4D flow MRI, we measured PWV in the intracranial vasculature stemming from the internal carotids and basilar arteries using three popular techniques: cross-correlation, waveform optimization and time-to-upstroke which have all been used intracranially, but never compared. Near-perfect agreement between cross-correlation and waveform optimization methods was observed, while the time-to-upstroke method estimated a significantly larger PWV and was more prone to non-physiological values in a cohort of 21 healthy individuals aged 48 ± 18 years. We then analysed our cohort PWV using an ensemble approach given the current lack of methodological consensus. This analysis identified two consistent findings. First, internal carotids measure significantly higher PWV than basilar vascular networks (3.64 ± 1.47 versus 2.53 ± 1.39 m s<sup>-1</sup>). Second, in our cohort, intracranial PWV was age-independent. We hypothesize that age independence is a healthy physiological trait to minimize microvascular strain, protecting the integrity of the peripheral bed throughout ageing and cardiac pulsatile deformation. The cause for apparent age independence remains unknown. We also identified that previous work on intracranial PWV is likely biased towards the extracranial vasculature, which may explain the study differences in PWV magnitude and the age-dependent nature.</p>","PeriodicalId":13795,"journal":{"name":"Interface Focus","volume":"15 1","pages":"20240036"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11969195/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143795379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While CSF dynamics interrelate with deformations of the ventricular volumes, these deformations have been simplified and even discarded in computational models because of the lack of detailed measurements. Amplified magnetic resonance imaging (aMRI) enables visualization of these complex deformations, but this technique has not been used for predicting CSF dynamics. To assess the feasibility of using aMRI as an input for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of the CSF, we deduced the amplified deformations of the cerebral ventricles from an aMRI dataset and imposed these deformations in our CFD model. Then, we compared the resulting CSF flow rates with those measured <i>in vivo</i>. The aMRI deformations yielded CSF flow following a pulsatile pattern in line with the flow measurements. The CSF flow rates were, however, subject to noise and increased. As a result, scaling of the deformations with a factor 1/8 was necessary to match the measured flow rates.

The pulsatile component of ISF flow may be particularly important for clearance, e.g. by facilitating fluid mixing. Directly measuring ISF flows is challenging due to the slow velocities and small volume fractions involved; however, pulsatile flows present a unique opportunity as their driving forces can be estimated from observations of pulsatile tissue motion. In this work, we present pressure gradient magnetic resonance imaging (pgMRI), which assimilates retrospectively gated pulsatile tissue deformations measured with a displacement encoding with stimulated echoes MRI sequence into a patient-specific poroelastic computational model by estimating the distribution of fluid sources. The new method is demonstrated to recover a spherical fluid source accurately from synthetic data with simulated noise of up to 20%, and to produce not previously reported <i>in vivo</i> brain fluid source images along with companion images of the three-dimensional stresses and pressure gradients which drive ISF movement.
