"Even though the lateral geniculate nucleus is difficult to see, it can be localised anatomically by following the optic tract posteriorly until it fades out. This occurs at the level of the superior colliculi on axial imaging (AC-PC line), just lateral to the medial geniculate nucleus, where it is thus located between three white matter tracts: optic tract anteriorly, optic radiation posterolaterally and posterior limb of the internal capsule anteromedially 3,4."
