Brain tumour, DTI MRI scan C017 / 7058
Brain tumour. 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (coloured) in a brain with a tumour (red, centre left). The brain is seen from the side, with the front of the brain at left. 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 located at the center left. The intricate network of nerve pathways, represented in vibrant colors, adds an artistic touch to this scientific image. From the side view, we can observe the front of the brain on the left side. Brain tumors can be either benign or malignant, and their presence often leads to various symptoms such as seizures, headaches, memory loss, and personality changes due to tumor growth. In this particular scan, medical professionals have highlighted the corticospinal tract in blue – a neural pathway that connects the motor cortex to the spinal cord. The technique used for capturing this detailed image is diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which measures water diffusion direction within the brain. By revealing nerve fiber orientation through tractography analysis, DTI helps researchers gain valuable insights into structural abnormalities and disorders within our central nervous system. As we delve into neurology and oncology realms with this photograph's subject matter, it serves as a reminder of both medical advancements and challenges faced by individuals affected by brain tumors. This visually striking portrayal offers us glimpses into neuropathology while emphasizing how crucial MRI scans are for diagnosis and treatment planning in cases involving malignancies like these.
