Corpus callosum, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7045
Corpus callosum. Coronal 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (blue) in and around the brains corpus callosum. The corpus callosum (centre) is the band of nerve fibres that connects the two hemispheres of the brain (left and right). Diffusion tensor imaging measures the direction of water diffusion, which in the brain reveals the orientation of nerve fibres. The technique is also known as tractography, with the resulting image known as a tractogram

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human brain's corpus callosum, captured through a cutting-edge imaging technique known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI scan. The image reveals a mesmerizing network of nerve pathways in and around the corpus callosum, which serves as a vital bridge connecting the left and right hemispheres of our brain. In this coronal 3D DTI MRI scan, these nerve fibres are depicted in striking blue hues against a pristine white background. The use of tractography allows for an accurate visualization of the orientation and structure of these fibres by measuring water diffusion within the brain. This non-invasive imaging technique provides valuable insights into neural connectivity and helps us understand how information is transmitted between different regions of our brain. The photograph not only highlights the remarkable complexity and organization within our central nervous system but also underscores its crucial role in maintaining normal biological functions. It represents an invaluable resource for researchers studying neurology, medicine, anatomy, and other related fields. Captured by Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Lab from Science Photo Library, this image stands as a testament to humanity's ongoing exploration into understanding one of nature's most fascinating creations – the human brain.
