To show the anatomy of the limbic system in multi-planar images obtained from isotropic acquisitions on a 3T MR. Show the limbic system tracts with diffusion tensor imaging obtained in a 3T MR.

Introduction. Review of the fornix, hippocampus, cingulate gyrus, indusium griseum, olfactory bulb and amygdala anatomy on isotropic acquisitions obtained in a 3T MR. Review the limbic system tracts on diffusion tensor imaging obtained in a 3T MR. Conclusions.

Imaging of the limbic system has great importance on certain pathologies that affect its integrity. The hippocampus, fornix, cingulate gyrus and amygdala are structures that are evaluated in detail, specifically with the improved spatial and temporal resolution of the 3T magnets. Diffusion tensor imaging and isotropic acquisitions give us information about the integrity of the tracts and great anatomical detail of the limbic system.
