(a) The midsagittal MR image shows the AC (solid arrow) and PC (dotted arrow). (b) Among several kinds of the AC-PC lines, the Talairach AC-PC line and the Schaltenbrand AC-PC line are commonly used especially for stereotaxic surgery. The Talairach AC-PC line passes through the superior edge of the AC and the inferior edge of the PC (solid line). The Schaltenbrand AC-PC line passes through the center of the AC and the center of the PC (dotted line). (c) The illustration of the midsagittal image shows the AC (solid arrow) and PC (dotted arrow). For the Talairach AC-PC line, the landmarks are the superior edge of the AC and the inferior edge of the PC. For the Schaltenbrand AC-PC line, the landmarks are the center of the AC and the center of the PC.

AC: anterior commissure; MR: magnetic resonance; PC: posterior commissure.
