Clinical trials: Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
Hydrocephalus
Study of Shunt Flow Under Different Valve Settings Using a Wireless Sensor
Hydrocephalus is commonly treated with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt, a device that drains excess fluid from the brain. However, shunts can stop working over time, and determining whether fluid is flowing through a shunt can…
