Corpus callosum, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7043
Corpus callosum. Coronal 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (red) in the brains corpus callosum. The corpus callosum 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, a vital structure that connects the left and right hemispheres. The image, captured using advanced diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reveals the complex network of nerve pathways within this crucial band of fibers. In this striking coronal 3D scan, the nerve pathways are highlighted in vibrant red against a deep black background. DTI measures water diffusion direction to unveil the orientation of these nerve fibers, providing valuable insights into brain connectivity. This technique, also known as tractography, produces a visually stunning tractogram that aids in understanding neural communication. The photograph not only emphasizes the structural elegance of our central nervous system but also underscores its significance for healthy biological functioning. It offers an exceptional glimpse into neurology and medicine by illustrating how different regions of our brain communicate through these neural tracts. As we explore this mesmerizing image further, it becomes evident that it represents more than just scientific research; it symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within ourselves. With each fiber meticulously mapped out by cutting-edge technology at Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Lab/Science Photo Library, this print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our unyielding curiosity about our own anatomy.
