A Frameless Stereotaxic MRI Technique for Macaque Neuroscience Studies
MRI has achieved widespread use for preplanning neuroscience procedures for non-human primate studies. However, orienting imaging studies in stereotaxic space has relied primarily on using a stereotaxic frame or co-registering fiducial markers with the neuroimaging. In this study, we present a simple approach in which the MRI dataset is aligned to the bony landmarks that define the Frankfurt st...
متن کاملQuadrature RF Coil for In Vivo Brain MRI of a Macaque Monkey in a Stereotaxic Head Frame.
We present a quadrature volume coil designed for brain imaging of a macaque monkey fixed in a sphinx position (facing down the bore) within a stereotactic frame at 3 T, where the position of the monkey and presence of the frame preclude use of existing coils. Requirements include the ability to position and remove the coil without disturbing the position of the monkey in the frame. A saddle coi...
متن کاملIntraoperative MRI and Image-guided Frameless Neuronavigation
Neurosurgeons have long used various image-guided systems, such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and threedimensional (3-D) stereotaxy in an attempt to more accurately localize intracranial targets (34). The development of advanced neuroimaging techniques over the years has provided the neurosurgeon with increasingly more accurate and precise tools to aid in the microsurgical treatment of intracrani...
متن کاملA stereotaxic template atlas of the macaque brain for digital imaging and quantitative neuroanatomy.
A stereotaxic brain atlas of the longtailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is presented in a format suitable for use as a template atlas of the macaque brain. It includes most of the brain segmented to show the boundaries of landmark structures such that every point in the brain can be represented by a unique set of coordinates in three-dimensional space and ascribed unambiguously to one and onl...
متن کاملDT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...
