Instance 3 : First repeat imaging visit (2019+)
5,194 participants, 5,194 items
Data not meaningful for statistical summary
The source DICOM images were acquired using the following parameters:
Resolution: 2x2x2 mm
Field-of-view: 104x104x72 matrix
Duration: 7 minutes (including 36 seconds phase-encoding reversed data)
10x b=0, 50x b=1000, 50x b=2000
SE-EPI with x3 multislice acceleration, no iPAT, fat saturation
For the two diffusion-weighted shells, 50 distinct diffusion-encoding directions were acquired (and all 100 directions are distinct). The diffusion prepraration is a standard ("monopolar") Stejskal-Tanner pulse sequence. This enables higher SNR due to a shorter echo time (TE=92ms) than than a twice-refocused ("bipolar") sequence. This improvement comes at the expense of stronger eddy current distortions, which are removed in the image processing pipeline.
The average size of these NIFTI datasets is 550MB per participant.
