The inaugural publication of the 7.0 Tesla MRI Brain Atlas: In Vivo Atlas with Cryomacrotome Correlation in 2010 provided readers with a spectacular source of ultra-high resolution images revealing a wealth of details of the brainstem and midbrain structures. This second edition contributes additional knowledge gained as a result of technologic advances and recent research. To facilitate identification and comparison of brain structures and anatomy, a detailed coordination matrix is featured in each image. Updated axial, sagittal, and coronal images are also included. This state-of-the-art and user-friendly reference will provide researchers and clinicians with important new perspectives.
Since the publication of the fi rst edition of this Atlas, we were convinced that the precise localization of the
reference system was much in need for easier identifi cation; therefore, we have integrated a new coordinate
system in this new edition.
In this revised edition, therefore, we have put a coordinate matrix in every image, both cadaver and MRI,
based on a central intercommissural line to make a more convenient approach for the readers. By doing this,
readers would be able to compare their images with those of others based on the same coordinate system.
Th e other major revision is that we have reduced the book size for handiness without reduction of real
brain size of the original images seen in the fi rst edition. Because of the reduction of the book size, all the
labels are abbreviated and explained at the bottom of every image.
As we are also working on the 7.0 T MRI Tractography Atlas, we have learned many new fi ber tracts “hidden”
in the white matter, and therefore, some of the tracts are newly labeled in this Atlas based on cadaver
and MRI images.
For this edition, we would like to appreciate Dr. Jin Seo Park for his critical review of the revision and
Sang-Han Choi for editing the manuscripts.
