Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiation of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) from other types of dementia and the selection of appropriate candidates for shunt surgery remain a clinical challenge. The aims of this study were to assess the efficacy of cerebral metabolites depicted by proton chemical shift imaging (1H-CSI) in distinguishing NPH from other dementias and to examine the relationship between metabolite changes and the outcome of shunt surgery.
