title: Normal variation in MRI of the brain.
abstract: Compared with CT, much more detail and information is seen on any standard MRI sequence. The task of reviewing MRI head scans can therefore be daunting to the new radiologist. This article outlines and emphasizes many of the predictable normal variants, hopefully lessening the burden and preventing the reader from misidentifying many of the common structures.
