Abstract
MRI is used not only for anatomical location and characterization but also for 3D views of sulci and gyri. T1WI-MRI captured with 3D-volume acquired 3D-views of sulci and gyri on fifty healthy volunteers and two patients. The software that we developed analyzed and labeled sulcal patterns of cerebral cortex automatically comparing to a standard brain model. We focused the post-central sulcus (PoC) and 2 neighboring sulci with an inter-sulcal analysis (Relations) including an inter-sulci junction (PoC and cingulate sulcus posterior [Cing]). The value of PoC-Cing Relations of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is higher than that of normal, while the value of glioma is much less among that of normal. The PoC of FCD and a few normal brains have junction with Cing. This informative value and a presence of inter-sulci junction suggest that cortical folding dynamics might influence the folding patterns of cerebral cortex. This sulcal labeling can analyze normal and abnormal patient’s brains for clinical use.
