3D of head based on axial FLAIR images

3D ModelNoAI

This reconstruction is based on a Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI scan sequence. The ventricles are in light blue. The FLAIR White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) are in red. Sometime you will see hyperintensities with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson disease (PD). This person did not have either of these diseases. They were involved in a motor vehicle accident (MVA). Even though they do not have the disease they do do have similar symptoms and as they get older the effects worsen.
