Brain fibres, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7036
Brain fibres. 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a selection of nerve pathways (green/yellow) in the brain. The brain is seen from the side, with the front of the brain at left. The ventricles are pink and the brains cortical surface is blue. 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 network of brain fibres, captured through a cutting-edge imaging technique known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The image reveals a selection of nerve pathways in vibrant green and yellow hues against a striking black background. From this side view of the brain, with the front on the left, one can observe the pink ventricles and blue cortical surface. DTI measures water diffusion direction within the brain, providing valuable insights into the orientation of nerve fibres. This technique, also referred to as tractography, generates an image called a tractogram that beautifully illustrates these neural pathways. The photograph not only highlights the structural complexity and anatomical beauty of our brains but also serves as a reminder of their vital role in our overall health and well-being. It represents an amalgamation of biology, medicine, neurology, and anatomy – disciplines that rely on such advanced imaging techniques for research purposes. Captured by Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Lab from Science Photo Library's extensive collection, this mesmerizing print offers viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of our central nervous system. It is both scientifically informative and visually stunning—a testament to human ingenuity in unraveling nature's mysteries at microscopic levels.
