The image shows two axial MRI brain scans overlaid with tractography visualizations of white matter fiber tracts. The left scan displays a more intact brain with extensive fiber tracts extending in multiple directions, visualized in different colors indicating fiber orientation. The right scan, however, exhibits a large region of missing brain tissue, likely due to a surgical intervention such as a hemispherotomy. The fiber tracts in this hemisphere are significantly reduced, with disrupted connections and fewer streamlines, reflecting the structural changes caused by the procedure. The image highlights differences in white matter organization between an intact and a surgically altered brain.
