Corpus callosum, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7044
Corpus callosum. Coronal 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (coloured) in and around the brains corpus callosum. The corpus callosum (red, 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 corpus callosum, a vital structure in the human brain. In this coronal 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, we are granted a glimpse into the complex network of nerve pathways that traverse in and around this region. Coloured to highlight these pathways, we can clearly see how they interconnect within the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum, depicted here in striking red at the center of the image, serves as a bridge between the left and right hemispheres of our brain. It consists of numerous nerve fibers that facilitate communication and information exchange between these two halves. Utilizing diffusion tensor imaging techniques, which measure water diffusion direction within tissues like our brains, scientists have been able to map out neural tracts with remarkable precision. This method is commonly referred to as tractography and produces images known as tractograms. With its black background emphasizing its vibrant colors, this print not only provides an anatomical insight but also evokes a sense of wonder for our own neurological architecture. A testament to both biology and medicine, it reminds us of the incredible complexity underlying our cognitive abilities. Whether you are fascinated by neuroscience or simply appreciate stunning scientific imagery, this print offers an intriguing window into one aspect of our extraordinary human body.
