Summary overview of the dHCP neonatal processing pipeline. The “best” (i.e., the least affected by within-volume motion) pairs of b0 volumes for each phase encoding direction are extracted from the raw dMRI data. These are used to estimate the off-resonance field that is then used in the simultaneous correction of motion artefacts, susceptibility-induced and eddy current distortions. Data are super-resolved and, after pre-processing is complete, local diffusion and microstructural models are fitted in every voxel. After registration of dMRI data to the age-matched template automated tractography extracts a number of white matter tracts.
