Abstract: We present a digital anisotropically deformable brain atlas based on the model of the Talairach Atlas. The Atlas is implemented as a DICOM 3.0-compliant graphic software tool that can be used for teaching and diagnosis support purposes. The tool supports the elastic anisotropic adaptation of the model to the tomographic volume of a particular patient, enabling the identification of the Talairach quadrants and automatically showing the Brodmann areas related to each quadrant. The system is now being evaluated in the scope of a neurological research project.
