Abstract

Purpose: The aim was to establish a functional MRI protocol for analyzing human stereoscopic vision in clinical practice. The feasibility was established in a cohort of 9 healthy subjects to determine the functional cortical areas responsible for virtually relief vision.

Methods: Nine healthy right-handed subjects underwent orthoptic examination and functional MRI. The activation paradigms used were based on a block sequence with the projection of static and dynamic 2D and 3D test patterns during three experiments. The test patterns were projected through two separate eyepieces to create stereoscopic vision. SPM software was used for post-processing and data analysis.

Results: Among the three different test patterns used, the second, which corresponded to a static high-relief image of a billiard, appeared to be significant for identifying cortical area activation during stereoscopy. In the group analysis, only areas V3A and V6 showed statistically significant activation. Individual analysis revealed activation of the rostral IPS and V5/MT+.

Conclusion: More data is needed to determine the precise cortical area of activation for stereoscopy. This study proposes a useful and accessible method for functional MRI analysis of stereoscopy.

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
