BACKGROUND: The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is known to serve as a unique environment for neurodevelopment, with specific proteins secreted by epithelial cells of the choroid plexus (CP) playing crucial roles in cortical development and cell differenti...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hydrocephalus involves abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in brain ventricles. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and preventing progressive neurological deterioration. The aim of this st...
While ventricular shunts are the main treatment for adult hydrocephalus, shunt malfunction remains a common problem that can be challenging to diagnose. Computer vision-derived algorithms present a potential solution. We designed a feasibility study ...
PURPOSE: To obtain high-resolution velocity fields of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cerebral blood flow by applying a physics-guided neural network (div-mDCSRN-Flow) to 4D flow MRI.
BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) imaging has shown promise in non-invasive monitoring of changes in the lateral brain ventricles of neonates suffering from intraventricular hemorrhaging. Due to the poorly defined anatomical boundari...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt procedures can improve idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) symptoms. However, there are no automated methods that quantify the presurgery and postsurgery changes in the ventricular vo...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the intracranial structures and brain parenchyma radiomics surrounding the occipital horn of the lateral ventricle in normal fetuses (NFs) and fetuses with ventriculomegaly (FVs), as well as to predict postnatally enlarged lat...

Cerebral ventricles are one of the prominent structures in the brain, segmenting which can provide rich information for brain-related disease diagnosis. Unfortunately, cerebral ventricle segmentation in complex clinical cases, such as in the coexiste...
Preterm neonates are highly likely to suffer from ventriculomegaly, a dilation of the Cerebral Ventricular System (CVS). This condition can develop into life-threatening hydrocephalus and is correlated with future neuro-developmental impairments. Con...
Successful segmentation of the total intracranial vault (ICV) and ventricles is of critical importance when studying neurodegeneration through neuroimaging. We present iCVMapper and VentMapper, robust algorithms that use a convolutional neural networ...
