Brain tumour. Coloured 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan of the brain of a 29 year old with a low grade glioma in the left frontal lobe. A DTI scan shows the bundles of white matter nerve fibres and is being used here for pre-surgical planning. The fibres transmit nerve signals between brain regions and between the brain and the spinal cord. A glioma arises from glial cells,nervous system support cells. DTI scans show the diffusion of water along white matter fibres,allowing their orientations and the connections between brain regions to be mapped | |
