Evaluating Raised Intracranial Pressure Using MR Elastography (NCT03096743)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Investigators will compare magnetic resonance (MR) elastography measurements to other forms of noninvasive methods of detecting raised intracranial pressure, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and indirect signs of raised intracranial pressure on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
