lateralis, ansa lenticularis. The thalamic region. The amygdala,
fornix and periventricular regions.
This "in vivo" atlas contains more than 50 magnetic resonance (MR)
images of the brain. Each structure is represented in the axial,
coronal and sagittal plane, magnified in color schemes and
reconstructed in 3D images with a useful millimetric scale. The atlas
offers the reader a practical and simple tool for surgical planning
and for diagnostic and anatomical studies. Thanks to the high level
of anatomical definition of the in vivo MR images presented in this
book, there is no loss in precision as a result of post-mortem
changes, which characterizes a classical anatomical atlas, and the
overall reliability of the present atlas is significantly enhanced.
Finally, this book is an excellent teaching instrument for all
students of the neurosciences, regardless of the individual level of
training and expertise
