We are pleased to present this month’s interesting study, “Prediction of Surgical Outcomes in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus by MR Elastography”, authored by Pragalv Karki, Matthew C Murphy, Petrice M Cogswell, Matthew L Senjem, Jonathan Graff-Radford, Benjamin D Elder, Avital Perry, Christopher S Graffeo, Fredic B Meyer, Clifford R Jack Jr, Richard L Ehman and John Huston 3rd.

This study uses MR Elastography to predict surgical outcomes in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), offering a non invasive alternative to traditional methods. Results suggest improved NPH diagnostic odds ratio and positive predictive value. This advancement could significantly improve the management of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, impacting the lives of those affected by this condition.
