Method of visualizing the ATR using DTT. (A) Include-ROIs (yellow arrows) are set on a coronal plane (left) passing through the anterior commissure and on another coronal plane (right) passing through the center of the genu of the corpus callosum. The ATR (blue) passing through both of those ROIs is visualized together with the corticospinal tract and the corticopontine tract (yellow). (B) By determining an Exclude-ROI (red arrow) on a transverse plane passing through the midbrain, the corticospinal tract and corticopontine tract coursing the region are excluded. (C) The pure ATR is visualized. DTT, diffusion tensor tractography; ATR, anterior thalamic radiation; ROI, region of interest. A, anterior; P, posterior. Images are shown in the sagittal plane for visualization purposes.
