Fast imaging of intravenous Gadolinium-based contrast agents entrance into ventricular CSF via choroid plexus in healthy subjects
Motivation: Intravenously administered gadolinium-based-contrast-agents (GBCAs) can enter the lateral-ventricle (LV) via choroid-plexus (CP). However, systematic investigation of GBCA accumulation in ventricular CSF via CP in healthy subjects is limited. Goal(s): To measure GBCA-induced signal changes in the LV and CSF around CP immediately and 4 hours after intravenous GBCA administration. Approach: Dynamic-susceptibility-contrast-in-the-CSF (cDSC) MRI was performed in 25 healthy subjects. Results: At ~20s post-GBCA, GBCA-induced signal changes were detected in the CSF around CP but not in the rest of LV. After 4 hours, GBCA-induced signal changes also became significant in the entire LV. GBCA-amount in the LV showed an age correlation. Impact: These results provided direct imaging evidence that intravenous GBCA can pass the BCSFB in the CP and enter ventricular CSF in healthy subjects.
