Lesion Localizer is a flash-based interactive environment to integrate MRI anatomy with the clinical presentation of classic neurological syndromes. At the heart of the project is an MRI atlas in which structures are highlighted and labeled as the mouse over the image. The MRI images can be freely explored in all three orthogonal planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal). This tool allows one to become familiar with neuroanatomy on MRI, and realize the importance of anatomical localization in clinical thinking. It is designed to supplement learning neurology for second, third, and fourth year medical students, but can be useful for both neurology and radiology residents as well. Lesion localizer was created with Amar Dhand and Dr. Gillian Lieberman. You can find Lesion Localizer here.

This atlas was created during my radiology rotation. I think it is unique among the many head CT atlases out there, as regions are highlighted as you mouse over them. I was frustrated with the design of most atlases, which used many small lines to point to structures. With this atlas, you simply point to the structure in question: the entire structure visible is highlighted, and the name of the structure is given at the bottom.
