About IHIWG

The International Hydrocephalus Imaging Working Group (IHIWG) is an interdisciplinary group comprised of neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neurologists, medical scientists and engineers aimed to advance understanding and treatment of hydrocephalus and related CSF disorders. IHIWG was originally founded in spring 2011 by Neurosurgeon, Hal Rekate, MD. Soon after, Neuroradiologist, Bill Bradley, MD, PhD, Biomedical Engineer, Bryn Martin, PhD, and Physiologist, Vartan Kurtcuoglu, PhD, joined the leadership team.
