The brain of a Huntington Disease (HD) patient who received neural fetal tissue transplants 11 years before her death, was analyzed ex-vivo in a 7T MRI scanner with a total scan time of 25 hours and 8 minutes. Signs of engrafted tissue could be found on all sites which received a stereotactic implantation (caudate nucleus, putamen) with a tendency to overgrowth for the right hemisphere. Deterministic fiber tracking based on DTI images clearly demonstrated interconnectivity of individual grafts to numerous brain regions.
