To measure venous transit time and blood-brain barrier permeability in the deep brain and establish their normative values.
Imaging techniques applied to assess deep-brain physiology.
Measurement of venous transit time (VTT) in the deep brain.
Assessment of blood-brain barrier (BBB) water permeability.
Establishment of normative values for venous transit time in the deep brain.
Identification of blood-brain barrier permeability levels.
Resumen
This is the first study to measure two parameters associated with deep-brain physiology, specifically VTT and BBB water permeability, and provide their normative values.
