  2. CSF tap test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSF_tap_test

    The CSF tap test, sometimes lumbar tap test or Miller Fisher Test, is a medical test that is used to decide whether shunting of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) would be helpful in a patient with suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

  3. Suboccipital puncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suboccipital_puncture

    A suboccipital puncture or cisternal puncture is a diagnostic procedure that can be performed in order to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for biochemical, microbiological, and cytological analysis, or rarely to relieve increased intracranial pressure.

  4. Lumbar puncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_puncture

    Lumbar puncture (LP), also known as a spinal tap, is a medical procedure in which a needle is inserted into the spinal canal, most commonly to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for diagnostic testing.

  5. Cerebrospinal fluid flow MRI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_Fluid_Flow_MRI

    Time-resolved 2D phase-contrast MRI with velocity encoding is the most common method for CSF analysis. [1] CSF Fluid Flow MRI detects back and forth flow of Cerebrospinal fluid that corresponds to vascular pulsations from mostly the cardiac cycle of the choroid plexus. Bulk transport of CSF, characterized by CSF circulation through the Central ...

  6. Cisternography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisternography

    Radionuclide cisternography may be used to diagnose a spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak. CSF pressure is measured and imaged over 24 hours. [2] A radionuclide (radioisotope) is injected by lumbar puncture (spinal tap) into the cerebral spinal fluid to determine if there is abnormal CSF flow within the brain and spinal canal which can be altered by hydrocephalus, Arnold–Chiari malformation ...

  7. Pandy's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandy's_test

    Pandy's test (or Pandy's reaction) is done on the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) to detect the elevated levels of proteins (mainly globulins). This test is named after the Hungarian neurologist , Pándy Kálmán (1868–1945) who developed this test in the year 1910.

  9. Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_measurement...

    Additional risks presented to patients can include high costs associated with an ICP sensor's implantation procedure, and the limited access to trained personnel, e.g. a neurosurgeon. Alternative, non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure , non-invasive methods for estimating ICP have, as a result, been sought.
