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

Diffusion tensor imaging

 * 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.
 * Articles this image appears in:Diffusion MRI
 * Creator:Thomas Schultz (who I believe is a user of German wikipedia)

 * Support - very nice, very informative - though I would like it better if there was a side-by-side key with structures labeled. de Bivort 21:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. Very nice, interesting. But can we leave out this stuff re noms on other Wikipedias and Commons - this is becoming increasingly common, but is irrelevant as a reason; reasons should be relevant to us here, not to what's happening with the image somewhere else. --jjron 09:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
