Atlas of the Pediatric Brain
May 22, 2006
Srdjan Jelacic, David de Regt and Ed Weinberger have developed an electronic atlas of the normal pediatric brain. The purpose of the brain atlas is to provide an easy-to-use interactive method to learn about the normal changes in MR appearance of the pediatric brain and to facilitate correct interpretation of potential abnormalities.
The digital atlas is derived from normal MR studies of 30 patients ranging in age from birth to 30 months. It includes over 4,000 images obtained from T1, T2, FLAIR, diffusion and ADC sequences saved in .JPG format.
The program runs under Microsoft Windows with the .NET Framework installed. It allows for easy comparisons of the same sequence over multiple different age groups as well as multiple sequences for the same age.
The user can view all images for a given sequence or select filtered lists which allow for the inclusion or exclusion of any subset of age groups and also align images to preselected levels. The user can further customize the database by removing or adding additional cases to the provided data set.
