We conducted this study to determine the cerebrospinal fluid pulsation in the supine and sitting positions using multiposture MRI. The stroke volume of the aqueduct is not affected by intracranial pressure change. Cerebrospinal fluid pulsation measurements to evaluate the intracranial pressure-regulation function should be taken at the boundary between cranial and spinal cavities rather than in the aqueduct.
