Phase-contrast and 3D-DRIVE sequences are essential sequences in the diagnosis of hydrocephalus enabling perfect localization of the site of obstruction. Both sequences should be interpreted in conjunction to avoid false results. Velocity measurements through the aqueduct can help understand CSF hydrodynamics.
