Synopsis
Cerebral clearance is most active during sleep, therefore reduced sleep quality might induce impaired clearance function. Interstitial fluid (ISF) washes waste products from in-between cells through the parenchyma and its volume is found to be regulated by the sleep-wake cycle. Assessment of the ISF-fraction through IVIM can be a potential, non-invasive method to determine sleep-related variations in ISF, without contamination of parenchymal or microvascular diffusion. The current exploratory study investigates the potential of the IVIM-derived ISF-fraction to assess ISF-volume changes in relation to sleep by examining whether these changes are driven by actual hours of sleep or self-reported sleep quality.
