In addition to the lobes of the cerebrum, the medulla oblongata, and cerebellum, high quality can be found for the olfactory nerves, optic nerve, muscles of the eyes and neck, and many other features. Contact the author for additional imagery or go to Flicker sites here and here where you will find a larger number of images from the same MRI set.

FORMAL REPORT ON CERVICAL IMAGES:

“The contents the posterior fossa are unremarkable. Cervical vertebra are preserved in height and AP alignment. There is at least mild scoliosis. Mild to moderate degenerative disc disease with disc desiccation at most levels. Small multilevel posterior disc osteophyte complexes, most notable from C3-4 through C6-7. Mild type I degenerative Modic endplate signal changes at C4-5. No evidence of acute compression fracture. Mild multilevel facet arthropathy. Mild effacement of ventral CSF particularly from C4-5 through C6-7. Mild multilevel facet arthropathy.”
