Brain tumour, fMRI and tractography C017 / 7102
Brain tumour, fMRI and tractography. Combined functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI, blue and green) and tractography (yellow and red) imaging of a brain with a tumour (upper left). The front of the brain is at right. The tumour (solid red) has been imaged using tractography, also known as 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It shows the nerve pathways (red and yellow) affected by the tumour. Brain tumours can be benign or malignant (cancerous). They can cause seizures, headaches, and memory and personality changes. Hot spots on the fMRI areas are activated functional areas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a brain affected by a tumour, using advanced imaging techniques. The combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and tractography provides a comprehensive view of the brain's structure and disease progression. Against a striking black background, the image reveals the front of the brain on the right side, with a solid red mass representing the tumour in the upper left. Tractography, also known as 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), has been employed to visualize nerve pathways within the brain. These pathways are depicted in vibrant yellow and red hues, illustrating how they are impacted by this malignant growth. Brain tumours can be either benign or cancerous and often lead to various symptoms such as seizures, headaches, memory loss, and personality changes. The fMRI component of this image highlights activated functional areas through hot spots indicated by blue and green colors. This technique helps researchers understand which regions of the brain are involved during specific tasks or cognitive processes. Presented by Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Lab/Science Photo Library, this visually stunning photograph not only serves as an educational tool for medical professionals but also sparks curiosity about neurology and oncology among viewers. It exemplifies how cutting-edge imaging technologies contribute to our understanding of complex neurological conditions like brain tumours while emphasizing their impact on human health.
