Atlas of MRI Brain Anatomy

An "overview" of the brain anatomy is offered on this page. A review of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used as support. The anatomy of the brain is studied by means of axial, coronal and sagittal views. The MRI sequence used is a 3D gradient echo T1-weighted.

For a more detailed description of the anatomy of the brain, visit the menu entitled "MRI of the brain: region by region" which is in the right column of this page. Each region is studied with high resolution cuts and reference planes are detailed. The MRI sections come from the same patient.
