Brain tumour, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7057
Brain tumour. 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (coloured) in a brain with a tumour (red, centre right). The brain is seen from the side, with the front of the brain at right. Brain tumours can be benign or malignant (cancerous). They can cause seizures, headaches, and memory and personality changes due to the growth of the tumour. The nerve fibres include the corticospinal tract (blue), passing from the motor cortex to the spinal cord. Diffusion tensor imaging (tractography) measures the direction of water diffusion, which in the brain reveals the orientation of nerve fibres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a brain with a prominent red tumor at its center-right. The nerve pathways within the brain are color-coded, providing an intricate visual representation of the neural connections affected by this condition. From the side view, we can observe the front of the brain on the right. Brain tumors can be either benign or malignant, and their growth often leads to various symptoms such as seizures, headaches, and changes in memory and personality. This image highlights how these tumors disrupt normal brain function by encroaching upon vital nerve fibers. The blue corticospinal tract is particularly visible in this scan, representing the pathway from the motor cortex to the spinal cord. Diffusion tensor imaging measures water diffusion direction within tissues, revealing precise orientations of nerve fibers throughout the brain. With its white background emphasizing clarity and detail, this photograph serves as an invaluable tool for medical professionals specializing in neurology and neuropathology. It provides crucial insights into both structural abnormalities caused by tumors and potential treatment strategies. Captured by Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Lab/Science Photo Library, this image exemplifies how advanced imaging techniques like DTI MRI scans contribute to our understanding of neurological conditions such as cancerous brain tumors.
