ABSTRACT:
A system and method for evaluating neural shunt functionality is provided. Accordingly, in one aspect a method for monitoring neural shunt functionality may include measuring a first intracranial pressure pulse inside the shunt, measuring a second intracranial pressure pulse outside the shunt, and comparing pulsatile characteristics from the first measurement to the second measurement in order to determine shunt functionality.
