Practical MRI Guide to Identifying Cerebral Gyri and Sulci

Radiology Tutorials (YouTube)today

Learn a systematic approach to identify frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital gyri on brain MRI using key sulcal landmarks like the central sulcus.

  • The central sulcus is a critical landmark for separating frontal and parietal lobes.
  • Recognizing major sulci first helps systematically delineate the adjacent gyri.
  • A lobar approach—frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital—simplifies localization of brain structures.
