Hydrocephalus is widely known as “hydrocephaly” or “water in the brain,” a building up of abnormal cerebrospinal fluid in the brain ventricles. Due to this abnormality, the size of the head becomes larger and increases the pressure in the skull. This pressure compresses the brain and causes damage to the brain. Identification by imaging techniques on the hydrocephalus is mandatory to treat the disease. Various methods and equipment have been used to image the hydrocephalus. Among them, computerized tomography (CT) scan and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are the most considered methods and gives accurate result of imaging. Apart from imaging, cerebrospinal fluid-based biomarkers are also used to identify the condition of hydrocephalus. This review is discussed on “hydrocephalus” and its imaging captured by CT scan and NMR to support the biomarker analysis.

计算机断层扫描和核磁共振支持的脑积水分析。

脑积水被广泛称为“脑积水”或“脑中水”，是脑室中异常的脑脊液积聚。由于这种异常，头部的尺寸变大并且增加了颅骨中的压力。这种压力会压迫大脑并导致大脑受损。通过脑积水成像技术进行鉴定对于治疗该疾病是必不可少的。已经使用各种方法和设备对脑积水进行成像。其中，计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描和核磁共振（NMR）是最受关注的方法，可提供准确的成像结果。除影像学外，基于脑脊液的生物标记物还用于鉴定脑积水的状况。
