Official Title

Thermal Camera Detection of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Flow

Brief Summary

      There have been reports in the past of using thermal cameras to demonstrate flow in the
      tubing as a surrogate of proper shunt function. This was shown to have almost 90% accuracy at
      determining proper functioning but required expensive equipment that was not universally
      available. There is now smart phone based thermal camera technology (Flir One:
      http://www.flir.com/flirone/) that could make this technique widely available for health care
      use. The goal of the study is to determine if this device can demonstrate flow in the distal
      tubing of a VP shunt.

Study Type

Observational

Primary Outcome

Determine if a smartphone based thermal camera can determine flow in the distal tubing of a VP shunt.

Condition

Hydrocephalus
