Previous studies have proposed noninvasive phase-contrast flow mapping magnetic resonance imaging method to estimate ICC based on blood/CSF flow rates and CSF pressure gradient. Assuming that the CSF flow direction is mainly caudocranial in the spinal canal at the measurement sites, the phase-contrast technique needs to be applied with only one velocity encoding direction, which greatly shortens the scan time. In this study, we attempted to verify this assumption by using three-direction measurements to examine the contributions of various terms that might cause estimation inaccuracies in MR imaging-based ICC measurements.
