Shunt surgery is an effective treatment for iNPH, however some patients showed unsustainable response. We investigated how reduction of ventricular size after shunt surgery correlated with clinical outcome, as potential predictor of long-term shunt responsiveness using automated segmentation of ventricular volume from T1W sequence. A reduction of ventricular volume is found to negatively correlate with improved cognition. These findings might be one of helpful imaging predictors for the shunt responders in iNPH.
