Objective: We compared cost-effectiveness of cranial computed tomography (CT), fast sequence magnetic resonance imaging (fsMRI), and ultra sonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter, for suspected acute shunt failure, from a healthcare organizational perspective. Methods: We modeled 4 diagnostic imaging strategies: 1) CT scan; 2) fsMRI; 3) screening optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) using point of …
