Overview of in vitro and numerical model based on subject specific MRI measurements. a T2-weighted MR image of the entire CSF space for the human analyzed to acquire subject-specific anatomy and natural CSF pulsations. b An in vitro bench-top model of the human CSF filled spaces was generated from MRI images, (b1–2) in vitro model spinal canal including nerve roots and cauda equina. c computational model of the human central nervous system (c1) magnification of the cranial SAS consisting of lateral ventricles, foramen Monro (left and right), third ventricle, aqueduct of Sylvius, 4th ventricle, foramen Luschka, cisterna magna, pre-pontine and pontine cistern, trigeminal cistern, quadrigeminal cistern, Sylvian cisterns (left and right), and cortical subarachnoid space. (c2) Volumetric and surface mesh visualization with prism layers near the wall
