Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can produce a great deal of data about the tissues it images. Controlling how an MRI scans and then analyzing its data in novel ways can lead to interesting perspectives on the human body.

Dr. Denis Ducreux, a professor at the University of Paris-Sud and head of the Diagnostic Neuroradiology Department at Bicêtre Hospital in France, has been studying the limbic system of the brain using MRI. As part of his studies of this region, which is central to our emotions, long term memory, and even smell, Dr. Ducreux has been using GE Healthcare’s 3T SIGNA Architect MRI, along with software he developed himself, to create incredibly artistic images of limbic bundles.

He relies on the 48 Channel Head Coil and uses a specific Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) sequence that he also developed, which provides data on the brain’s white matter tracts.

Here’s a short video of a whole brain reconstructed using the new techniques:
