A new highly efficient velocity imaging technique is developed with simultaneous multi-slice EPI and zoomed spatial resolution which enables real-time measurement of CSF and brain velocity. Application of this 7D imaging technique to normal subjects revealed respiratory synchronous motion modulating cardiac waveforms in brain parenchyma and CSF. The brain pulsations may play a role in clearance of interstitial fluid in the brain.
