Test-Retest qt-dMRI datasets for "Non-Parametric GraphNet-Regularized Representation of dMRI in Space and Time"

<p>We release these four diffusion MRI data sets as part of our recent journal publication; Fick, Rutger H.J., et al. "Non-Parametric GraphNet-Regularized Representation of dMRI in Space and Time." <em>Medical Image Analysis</em> (2017). More detailed information about the use of these data sets can also be found in the publication.</p> <p>We acquired test-retest diffusion MRI spin echo sequences from two C57Bl6 wild-type mice on an 11.7 Tesla Bruker scanner. The test and retest acquisition were taken 48 hours from each other. The data consists of 80x160x5 voxels of size 110x110x500<span class="math-tex">\(\mu\)</span>m. Each data set consists of 515 Diffusion-Weighted Images (DWIs) spread over 35 acquisition shells. The shells are spread over 7 gradient strength shells with a maximum gradient strength of 491 mT/m, 5 pulse separation shells between [10.8 - 20.0]ms, and a pulse length of 5ms. We manually created a brain mask and corrected the data from eddy currents and motion artifacts using FSL's eddy. We then drew a region of interest in the middle slice in the corpus callosum, where the tissue is reasonably coherent.</p> <p>- The diffusion MRI data are contained in the files with 'dwis' in the name.<br> <br> - The corpus callosum masks are contained in the files with 'mask' in the name.</p> <p>- The acquisition parameters are contained in the .txt files.</p>
