Cetacean (dolphin, whale, and porpoise) brains are among the least studied mammalian brains because of the formidability of collecting and histologically preparing such relatively rare and large specimens. Magnetic resonance imaging offers a means of observing the internal structure of the brain when traditional histological procedures are not practical. Furthermore, internal structures can be analyzed in their precise anatomic positions, which is difficult to accomplish after the spatial distortions often accompanying histological processing. In this study, images of the brain of an adult bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, were scanned in the coronal plane at 148 antero-posterior levels. From these scans …

Methods For Volume Measurement In 3d Images, Kevin J. Black

Kevin J. Black, MD

This letter attempted to politely direct readers of a later, remarkably similar publication to my original publication. The full text as submitted is attached as a PDF file.
The poster cited in the attached letter is available here.
ADDENDUM: Approximately the same work as the article discussed in this letter was also published as: Rajapakse JC: Random-grid stereologic volumetry of MR head scans. J Magn Reson Imaging 12:833-841, 2000. I wrote a similar, unpublished letter to the editor of JMRI in 12/2000.
