Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of two pig brains was realized. The animals were placed in the stereotaxic conditions currently used in experiments. To allow the positioning of the animal in the MRI instrument, landmarks were previously traced on the snout of the pig. To avoid movements, animals were deeply anesthetized. MRI were taken in frontal, horizontal and sagittal directions. Afterwards, the brains of the pigs were frozen and cut into sections, frontal for one animal and sagittal for the other. Histologic and MR images were compared. The usefulness of this technique is discussed.
