Objective To show the fibers that connected the cerebellum with brainstem, diencephalon and spinal cord using GQI. Methods We acquired high-resolution structural and diffusion MRI of 10 subjects from HCP. The tractography based on a GQI and streamline algorithm of the DSI-studio software was performed to reconstruct and show the fibers that linked the cerebellum with other parts of the CNS(Central Nervous System). Results (1) 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional positions and intersections of the superior (SCP), and middle (MCP) and inferior (ICP) cerebellar peduncles were showed using the DSI-studio software. (2) the main ingredients of the three peduncles of cerebellum which connected to the spinal cord, medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain, diencephalon were 3-dimensionally demonstrated. Conclusions The cerebellum medulla can reconstructed and displayed using GQI, providing a diagnostic tool for characterizing anatomical disruptions that occur in cerebellar diseases and for monitoring response to therapeutic interventions.
