Adult Human Brain MRI

A T1-weighted sagittal MR image from a control subject, showing the midline structures of the posterior cranial fossa and the brainstem and the cerebellum.

  • d + e = length of clivus
  • S = sphenooccipital synchondrosis
  • d = length of basisphenoid between the top of the dorsum sellae and the sphenooccipital synchondrosis of the clivus
  • e = length of the basiocciput between the synchondrosis and the basion
  • b = length of the hindbrain between the midbrain-pons junction and the medullocervical junction
  • a = angle of the cerebellar tentorium to Twining's line
  • c = length of cerebellar hemisphere
  • DS = top of the dorsum sellae
  • IOP = internal occipital protuberance
  • OP = opisthion; IOP to OP = length of supraocciput
  • B = basion; TW = Twining's line
  • McR (B to OP) = McRae's line
