: Visualizing human brainstem structures like nuclei and
neural fibers is important to surgical planning for
resection of brainstem lesions. This is challenging for
conventional clinical MR sequences due to poor contrasts
of nuclei with white matter and previous work reports
findings at 7T. In this work, two 3D sequences were
employed to visualize brainstem substructures in vivo at
3T. The visualization of brainstem structures like
inferior olivary nucleus can be potentially significant
for preoperative planning.
