... demon- strating the correlation of MRI measurements of the ONSD with invasive ICP monitoring, they illustrate the potential of yet another non-invasive method to screen for elevated ICP. While this ... use measurements of the ONSD to predict exact values of ICP, but it may be useful as a screening test to estimate the probability of elevated ICP. Competing in...
