Within this study we exploited the rich anatomical information that is present in the contrast of high resolution 7 Tesla SWI scans with the main focus on visualization of small anatomical structures and vessels of a formalin-fixed human brain and the comparison to a standard anatomical atlas. Very detailed anatomical structures such as the internal/external separation of the globus pallidus and automatically segmentation of small veins are shown.
