简介
Objective
This study aims to investigate the association between specific imaging parameters, namely, the Evans index (EI) and ventricular volume (VV), and the variation in gait speed observed in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) before and after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) removal/lumbar drain (LD). Furthermore, it seeks to identify which imaging parameters are the most reliable predictors for significant improvements in gait speed post procedure.
