The choroid plexus water density
The ChP water density at the level of the atria of the lateral ventricles is approximately 0.895 ± 0.047 in healthy adults and does not change significantly with time of day during wakefulness. This value should provide a useful reference for the growing number of neuroimaging protocols that aim to derive quantitative contrast and functional metrics from ChP MRI.
