Abstract
This report aims at picturing out the clinical usefulness by analyzing the signal intensity in choroid plexuses which produce cerebrospinal fluids by diffusion weighted imaging. At first, subjects were chosen among the patients who showed high in signal intensity by diffusion weighted imaging. The subjects were taken another test by fluid attenuated inversion recovery diffusion weighted echo planer image(FLAIR-DW-EPI) the signals of fluid attenuation. And it was found that there are differences between the signal intensities of the two methods, which showed that the signal intensity in FLAIR-DW-EPI is equal to or low than, that in the Brain. By this, it is felt that it is helpful to diagnose the disease in choroid plexus by testing another more with FLAIR-DW-EPI methods the patients who showed high in signal intensity in choroid plexus by $T2^*$ diffusion weighted echo planer image($T2^*$-DW-EPI).
