Axial MRI of the Head         (Return to List of Available Self-Test Images - Normal Structure)

This is a contiguous series of T2-weighted MRI slices of the head (from the maxillary dentition superiorly) in a 45y old woman. You can scan through the series either by (1) positioning the cursor over the image, holding down the left mouse button, then sliding the cursor up or down the image, or (2) hitting the keyboard keys > and < (no shift required). Scan through this series of MRI slices and try to identify the labelled structures. Sometimes a structure is labelled in only one of the sections in which it can be seen; in other cases the same structure may be labelled in a few sections, not necessarily contiguous. The answers will be revealed when you click on the appropriately labelled drop-down arrows below the image.
