This is one of my favorite projects happening right now:
Using Phase Contrast MRI in migraine patients
A pilot study using Phase Contrast has recently concluded revealing startling evidence of changes in to cerebral blood flow after a NUCCA correction. The subject with a 20 year history of intractable headaches (migraine) occurring three to four times a week was studied. A PC MRA imaging study was obtained before the standardized NUCCA protocol evaluation. After the NUCCA procedure, a post PC MRA study was performed. The changes in venous outflow are represented graphically below.
Note in the post correction
graph, the venous outflow
has decreased.
