AB  - This retrospective review examines the utility of phase-contrast magnetic 
      resonance imaging (PC-MRI) to calculate flow through the aqueduct between the 
      third and fourth ventricles to estimate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production. 
      Imaging software quantified the CSF flow rate across the aqueduct of four females 
      and two males at a single center, and the mean of these results was compared to 
      the established mean CSF production calculated by invasive techniques. There was 
      no significant difference between the means, contributing to the body of 
      literature suggesting the utility of PC-MRI in estimating CSF production rates.
