传统上，已经使用标准模板，基于文本的描述或患者CT或MRI扫描的代表性原始切片报告了病变位置。这些方法中的每一种都有用于显示神经解剖学数据的缺点。一种解决方案是在相同的立体定位空间中显示MRI扫描，该空间受到功能性神经影像学的研究人员的流行。以这种格式呈现大脑非常有用，因为切片对应于神经iMimagers使用的标准解剖图谱。此外。病变位置和体积在患者之间直接可比。本文介绍了用于展示立体定向对齐的患者扫描的免费软件。本文侧重于MRI扫描，但其中许多工具也适用于其他方式（例如CT，PET和SPECT）。我们建议，这种以标准化为标准立体定位空间标准化的图像来呈现病变的技术应成为神经心理学研究的标准。
Traditionally lesion location has been reported using standard templates, text based descriptions or representative raw slices from the patient's CT or MRI scan. Each of these methods has drawbacks for the display of neuroanatomical data. One solution is to display MRI scans in the same stereotaxic space popular with researchers working in functional neuroimaging. Presenting brains in this format is useful as the slices correspond to the standard anatomical atlases used by neuroimagers. In addition. lesion position and volume are directly comparable across patients. This article describes freely available software for presenting stereotaxically aligned patient scans. This article focuses on MRI scans, but many of these tools are also applicable to other modalities (e.g. CT, PET and SPECT). We suggest that this technique of presenting lesions in terms of images normalized to standard stereotaxic space should become the standard for neuropsychological studies.
