Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/DTI-sagittal-fibers.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original
Reason
Featured on German wikipedia. Beautiful, and interest-provoking enough to make me wonder what it was. Nominated for FP status on Commons but the nom failed because the image did not satisfy the higher-resolution requirements that apply there.
Proposed caption
Visualization of a DTI measurement of a human brain. Depicted are reconstructed fiber tracts that run through the mid-sagittal plane. Especially prominent are the U-shaped fibers that connect the two hemispheres through the corpus callosum (the fibers come out of the image plane and consequently bend towards the top) and the fiber tracts that descend toward the spine (blue, within the image plane). This image was rendered using the BioTensor application developed at the University of Utah, based on data provided by Gordon Kindlmann at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, University of Utah, and Andrew Alexander, W.M. Keck Laboratory for Functional Brain Imaging and Behaviour, University of Wisconsin, Madison.
