Diffusion tensor imaging with 1.8-mm isotropic resolution was performed to delineate structures of the brain stem. High-resolution single-shot imaging was achieved by the combination of a high-field magnet (3T) and the SENSitivity Encoding (or SENSE) parallel imaging technique. Various structures in the brain stem, such as the inferior olivary nuclei, deep cerebellar nuclei, some cranial nerves, and white matter tracts were identified, which have been difficult to appreciate by conventional MR techniques.
采用1.8毫米各向同性分辨率的扩散张量成像来描绘脑干结构。通过高场磁体（3T）和灵敏度编码（SENSE）并行成像技术的结合实现了高分辨率单次成像。识别出了脑干中的各种结构，如下橄榄核、小脑深部核团、一些颅神经和白质束，而这些结构用传统磁共振技术很难分辨。
