Brain tumour, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7059
Brain tumour. Axial diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (coloured) in a brain with a tumour (red, upper centre). The brain is seen from below, with the front of the brain at top. 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 DTI MRI scan of a brain with a prominent red tumor at the upper center, against a striking black background. The image provides an intricate view of nerve pathways in vibrant colors, revealing the complex structure and disorder caused by the presence of this malignant growth. From below, we observe the brain with its front positioned at the top. This particular brain tumor can be either benign or cancerous (malignant), leading to various symptoms such as seizures, headaches, memory loss, and personality changes due to its expansion. The colored nerve fibers depicted include the corticospinal tract in blue, which connects the motor cortex to the spinal cord. Through diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) or tractography technique employed here, water diffusion direction is measured within the brain to unveil nerve fiber orientation. This image serves as an invaluable tool for medical professionals specializing in neurology and oncology. It offers crucial insights into neuropathology and aids in diagnosing and understanding conditions related to neural tracts. By visualizing these intricate pathways affected by tumors like this one through advanced MRI scanning techniques such as DTI scan or diffusion tensor imaging, healthcare practitioners gain valuable information necessary for treatment planning and patient care.
