Summary of the MRI scans included in the HumanBrainAtlas project

Name Derived from scans Description
T1w 7 T MP2RAGE, DUTCH, FLAWS T1-weighted scan. The main reference contrast, derived by averaging all T1w scans of sufficient quality
T2w 7 T 3D TSE sequence (SPACE) T2-weighted scans
DWI_average 3 T SPIR EPI Average of the distortion-corrected EPI images, mostly used for aligning the DWI data to the T2w (and hence the T1w) image
FAC 3 T SPIR EPI For every DWI scan, an FAC image was calculated. These ten FACs were aligned with the T2w and averaged
DEC_T1 T1w, 3 T SPIR EPI Direction-encoded fractional anisotropy reconstructed from the FOD (fod2dec -contrast)
ColorT1T2 T1w and T2w A derived image combining the T1w and T2w contrast—helpful for segmentation and highlighting of blood vessels
