Back by popular demand!!

Sagittal T1 is meant for anatomy!

Do you know it??

Most people know anatomy mainly in the axial plane. But the sagittal is actually perfect for anatomy

Sagittal shows the midline structures & makes gyral anatomy easy, bc gyri in the brain are structured like a layer cake.

And just how you see the layers in the cake best when it is cut on the side—you best see gyral anatomy when the brain is cut from the side.

For every sagittal T1, I have certain check points I check as I move through the anatomy.

This shows you my check points. How many do you know? How many do you have as you scroll?

1/They say form follows function!

Brain MRI anatomy is best understood in terms of both form & function.

Here’s a thread to help you to remember important functional brain anatomy!

Dr.Peter Wasswa goes beyond the call of duty to take care of his patients,he is reliable,caring and compassionate.He is one of the best Hematologists and Child Oncologists in our https://t.co/IC827pWqme is therefore extremely saddening that out of the blue we woke up to an unexpected and devastating mudslinging story accusing him of being unprofessional.Whereas the family may have concerns and I appreciate those concerns,I think that Dr.Wasswa did do his best to save a life.I pray that justice prevails and the truth will be revealed.Many of Dr.Wasswa”s workmates and students have reached out to know how they can support him during this very tough period.We stand with Dr.Peter Wasswa.

Here’s a translation w/an introductory thread to MRI.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵
