We reported a technique to visualize the irregular flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in whole brain by using dynamic improved motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium steady-state free precession (dynamic iMSDE SSFP). The purpose of this study was to propose a new technique using 3D dynamic iMSDE SSPF for visualizing the slow and irregular CSF flow of whole brain. 3D dynamic iMSDE SSPF can visualize the connection between the CSF space and a small lesion. This technique is suggested to contribute to the diagnosis of various diseases in the CSF space.
