OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review of the literature exploring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for measuring natural brain tissue pulsations (BTPs) in humans.
METHODS: A prospective systematic search of MEDLINE, SCOPUS and OpenGrey databases was conducted by two independent reviewers using a pre-determined strategy. The search focused on identifying reported measurements of naturally occurring BTP motion in humans. Studies involving non-human participants, MRI in combination with other modalities, MRI during invasive procedures and MRI studies involving externally applied tests were excluded. Data from the retrieved records were combined to create Forest plots comparing brain tissue displacement between Chiari-malformation type 1 (CM-I) patients and healthy controls using an independent samples t-test.
RESULTS: The search retrieved 22 eligible articles. Articles described 5 main MRI techniques for visualisation or quantification of intrinsic brain motion. MRI techniques generally agreed that the amplitude of BTPs varies regionally from 0.04 mm to ~ 0.80 mm, with larger tissue displacements occurring closer to the centre and base of the brain compared to peripheral regions. Studies of brain pathology using MRI BTP measurements are currently limited to tumour characterisation, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), and CM-I. A pooled analysis confirmed that displacement of tissue in the cerebellar tonsillar region of CM-I patients was + 0.31 mm [95% CI 0.23, 0.38, p < 0.0001] higher than in healthy controls.
DISCUSSION: MRI techniques used for measurements of brain motion are at an early stage of development with high heterogeneity across the methods used. Further work is required to provide normative data to support systematic BTPs characterisation in health and disease.
