       Curvilinear reformatting of MR images has been very useful in
       epilepsy research for detecting dysplastic lesions in the human
       brain. However, the method requires careful manual delineation
       and introduces artifacts. We present a fully automated approach
       to extract an ``envelope'' of the brain and obtain surfaces of
       same Euclidean distance to the envelope. The visualization of
       the voxel intensities on these isosurfaces substitute the
       previous procedure, eliminating its artifacts. The new approach
       was successfully evaluated over 40 controls and 10 patients
       with dysplastic lesions.
