I talk about how to obtain noninvasively biomechanical properties of the brain and the intracranial condition using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and how to apply those in clinical.I first show an analysis of the intracranial compliance using cine-MRI to assess the state and dynamics of the intracranial system and to assist in the diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (I-NPH).Because to diagnose the I-NPH, clinical symptoms (gait disturbance, dementia, and incontinence) and their follow-up observations are crucial, but there are still many unsolved problems with this syndrome in terms of the diagnostic criteria and selection of appropriate patients for shunt surgery.Next, I show a novel method called "fluctuation MRI" for evaluating biomechanical properties of the brain obtained with the regional water-molecular diffusion change during cardiac cycle and the blood flow.I explain the basis of this method and its clinical application.
