MRI

MRI gives the highest resolution images of the brain. It provides better pictures of the posterior fossa. It can be used to evaluate chiari malformation and aqueductal stenosis.

Marked Hyrocephalus

It gives better visualisation of microstructral changes in periventricular white matter areas than conventional MRI^[1]
