lentiform nucleus

The lentiform nucleus is a collective name given to the putamen and globus pallidus, both of which are nuclei in the basal ganglia.

Radiographic features

In axial section, the globus pallidus sits medially to the putamen and together, they appear lens-like in shape - hence the name, lentiform nucleus.
