NEURO2 Exam Q&A (72) | MRI Brain Imaging, Vasculature, Ventricles | 2025/2026 | Neuroimaging

This document contains 72 fully solved and labeled exam questions for the NEURO2 MRI/Imaging module, specifically tailored for the 2025/2026 academic year at [University Name]. It offers a comprehensive review of key radiological anatomy landmarks in axial and coronal brain MRIs, designed to help students master neuroanatomy through imaging. The questions cover high-yield structures across multiple systems including cortical gyri and sulci, white matter tracts, basal ganglia, brainstem, cranial nerves, and the ventricular system. Key topics include: Ventricular system: Identification of lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, choroid plexus, and foramina (Monroe, trigone) Deep brain structures: Thalamus, caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, internal and external capsules, claustrum Lobes of the brain: Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, insular, and cingulate lobes with respective gyri/sulci Vascular anatomy: Arterial and venous structures including the circle of Willis, sagittal sinus, and venous sinuses Cranial nerves and sinuses: Optic pathways, cavernous sinus, Meckel’s cave, and major paranasal sinuses Brainstem and cerebellum: Colliculi, cerebellar peduncles, dentate nucleus, vermis, medulla pyramids Subarachnoid cisterns and anatomical variants relevant to pathology and neurosurgical planning This resource is essential for: Medical students studying neuroanatomy or preparing for imaging-heavy OSPE/OSCE exams Radiology students or residents needing foundational MRI cross-sectional anatomy Neuroscience or biomedical students involved in CNS research or clinical anatomy coursework Dentistry, ENT, or audiology students covering neuroanatomy and sinus regions through imaging Its structured format makes it a perfect revision tool for image-based assessments and practicals, offering an efficient bridge between theoretical anatomy and clinical application.
