Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine distribution of contrast agent as assessed by repeated cranial MRI.;Secondary Objective: Compare site of blockade of cerebrospinal fluid circulation in different disease states.;Primary end point(s): Time-dependent appearance and disappearance of contrast agent in brain, as revealed by repetitive MRI, following intrathecal administration. A contrast-clearance curve is created for each individual patient.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After a single intrathecal injection of contrast agent, MRI is done after 0-2 hours, and after 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Differences in distribution of contrast agent between patients with different kinds of CSF circulation disturbance.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After a single intrathecal injection of contrast agent, MRI is done after 0-2 hours, and after 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours. | — |
