Specific subject area | Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Early Childhood; Brain development |
Type of data | NIfTI image files (MRI) T1-weighted Imaging Dataset Arterial Spin Labelling (ASL) Dataset Diffusion Tensor Imaging (b = 750 s/mm2) Dataset Passive viewing functional MRI Dataset Accompanying Microsoft Office Excel Spreadsheet |
How data were acquired | Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data were acquired using the same General Electric 3T MR750w system and 32-channel head coil (GE, Waukesha, WI) at the Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, Canada |
Data format | Raw (quality checked) |
Parameters for data collection | T1-weighted images were acquired using a FSPGR BRAVO sequence. ASL images were acquired with the vendor supplied (GE) pseudo continuous 3D ASL sequence. Diffusion tensor imaging data were acquired using a single shot spin echo echo-planar imaging sequence. Passive viewing fMRI data were acquired with a gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence. |
Description of data collection | Children were recruited from the local community and an ongoing prospective study (APrON) in Calgary, Canada [4]. All imaging was conducted using the same General Electric 3T MR750w system and a 32-channel head coil (GE, Waukesha, WI) at the Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, Canada. Children were scanned without sedation, either while they were awake and watching a movie of their choice, or while they were sleeping. |
