Hydrocephalus in experimental meningitis. T2W images showing a control rat (a) and two infected rats imaged at 36 hours (b) and 42 hours (c) presenting significant dilation of lateral and third ventricles (outlined in red) indicative of hydrocephalus. Brain-ventricle ratio (VBR) in a, b and c was 0.025, 0.076 and 0.085, respectively. The anatomical positioning of the three slices (from left to right) was used to analyze and measure VBR, ADC and dMRI.
