Healthy brain. Coloured three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) scan of the side of a human head with a healthy brain projected onto it. The largest part of the brain,the folded cerebrum (at upper centre),is seen. This carries out conscious brain activity and is shown as a three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. CT scanning uses X-rays to produce 'slice' images of the body. Here,data from many 'slices' have been combined to create this 3-D view. The image was taken at Siemens Corporate Research Center in Princeton,USA. It was produced with new imaging software that enables 3-D scans to be freely rotated,aiding in medical diagnosis and surgery | |
