Axial slices are useful for identifying subcortical landmarks.

- caudate nucleus (magenta)
- claustrum (pink) - sliver lateral to putamen, e.g. slice
0
- globus pallidus (green)
- putamen (yellow)
- quadrigeminal plate (purple)
- thalamus (red)
- poorly defined in T1 scans
- vermis (ice blue)
- sylvian fissure (dotted
red)
- superior temproal sulcus (dotted
