Abnormal cerebral venous outflow patterns may cause severe cerebrovascular disease. We aim to investigate the relationships between cerebral venous outflow and arterial inflow and between cerebral arterial inflow and cardiac outflow in adult and children volunteers using 4D flow and 2D phase-contrast MRI. The results demonstrate significant discrepancies between cerebra arterial inflow and venous outflow with larger discrepancies in children than adults. Additionally, we observed a significantly association of cerebral and cardiac flow parameters with age.
