Temporal stem anatomy. Photorealistic surface scanning anatomical and 3D tractography study

Key Points

• The aim is to improve the understanding of the temporal stem's anatomical structure through advanced imaging techniques.
• Utilized surface scanning methods to analyze the temporal stem anatomy.
• Incorporated stratigraphical dissections to visualize white matter tracts.
• Applied 3D segmentation of MRI data to create interactive 3D representations.
• Achieved clear visualization of layered anatomical structures in the temporal stem.
• Demonstrated the capability of 3D representations to outperform traditional 2D imaging.
• Provided detailed insight into the orientation and positioning of individual white matter fibers.
