Abstract

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows for the visualization of major tracts in the cerebellum and the brain stem. We illustrate the main tracts of clinical interest on images in the axial, coronal and sagittal images acquired on a 3T MRI Scanner.

Andrea Poretti was deceased at the time of publication.
