Abstract

In addition to volume loss and signal change, structural MRI allows an assessment of `brain swelling΄ – we use this here as an umbrella term to cover a range of conditions with apparent increases in volume (or pressure) of a part of the brain or a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment – the brain may not be literally `swollen΄ in all of these.
