Multi-modal ultra-high resolution structural 7-Tesla MRI data repository

چکیده
Structural brain data is key for the understanding of brain function and networks, i.e., connectomics. Here we present data sets available from the 'atlasing of the basal ganglia (ATAG)' project, which provides ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from young, middle-aged, and elderly participants. The ATAG data set includes whole-brain and reduced field-of-view MP2RAGE and T2*-weighted scans of the subcortex and brainstem with ultra-high resolution at a sub-millimeter scale. The data can be used to develop new algorithms that help building high-resolution atlases both relevant for the basic and clinical neurosciences. Importantly, the present data repository may also be used to inform the exact positioning of electrodes used for deep-brain-stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease and neuropsychiatric diseases.

Detecting multiple sclerosis cortical lesions post-mortem using 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: Although originally considered a white matter (WM) disease, it is now clear that focal cortical grey matter (GM) pathology is an important component of multiple sclerosis (MS). Presently available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques fail in detecting the actual amount of cortical lesions (CLs). The reason for such a failure is twofold: (i) the small size of CLs relative to...
متن کاملT1-weighted in vivo human whole brain MRI dataset with an ultrahigh isotropic resolution of 250 μm
We present an ultrahigh resolution in vivo human brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dataset. It consists of T1-weighted whole brain anatomical data acquired at 7 Tesla with a nominal isotropic resolution of 250 μm of a single young healthy Caucasian subject and was recorded using prospective motion correction. The raw data amounts to approximately 1.2 TB and was acquired in eight hours tota...
متن کاملUltra high resolution venography using T2* weighted imaging at 7T MRI
Throughout the last two decades, MRI has been ameliorated by a dramatic increase in the field strength; from 0.015 to 7 Tesla (T) MR systems. Ultrahigh-field MR system (beyond 3T) has great potential to produce newly improved imaging capabilities for both clinical diagnosis and basic science research. The primary purpose of venography was the description of cerebral veins, but it has also been ...
متن کاملWindows on the Human Body – in Vivo High-Field Magnetic Resonance Research and Applications in Medicine and Psychology
Analogous to the evolution of biological sensor-systems, the progress in "medical sensor-systems", i.e., diagnostic procedures, is paradigmatically described. Outstanding highlights of this progress are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), which enable non-invasive, in vivo acquisition of morphological, functional, and metabolic information from the human body with unsurpass...
متن کاملIn Vivo High-Resolution 7 Tesla MRI Shows Early and Diffuse Cortical Alterations in CADASIL
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent data suggest that early symptoms may be related to cortex alterations in CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal-Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy), a monogenic model of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). The aim of this study was to investigate cortical alterations using both high-resolution T2* acquisitions obtained with 7 Tesla MRI an...
