1 From the Department of Radiology and Radiological Science, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 217 Traylor Bldg, 720 Rutland Ave, Baltimore, MD 21205; and F. M. Kirby Research Center for Functional Brain Imaging, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Baltimore, Md. From the 2002 RSNA scientific assembly. Supported by National Institutes of Health grants RO1 AG2001201 and P41 RR1524101. Received December 12, 2002; revision requested February 25, 2003; revision received May 8; accepted August 21. Address correspondence to S.M. (e-mail: susumu@mri.jhu.edu).
Two- and three-dimensional (3D) white matter atlases were created on the basis of high-spatial-resolution diffusion tensor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and 3D tract reconstruction. The 3D trajectories of 17 prominent white matter tracts could be reconstructed and depicted. Tracts were superimposed on coregistered anatomic MR images to parcel the white matter. These parcellation maps were then compared with coregistered diffusion tensor imaging color maps to assign visible structures. The results showed (a) which anatomic structures can be identified on diffusion tensor images and (b) where these anatomic units are located at each section level and orientation. The atlas may prove useful for educational and clinical purposes.
