Direct visualization of cerebellar nuclei in patients with focal cerebellar lesions and its application for lesion-symptom mapping

► Lesions of dentate nuclei can be visualized using 1.5 T SWI MRI with good precision. ► Structural imaging of dentate nuclei is improved at higher field strength (3 T, 7 T). ► 1.5 T SWI allows lesion symptom mapping at the level of the dentate nuclei.
