Ex Vivo Mouse Brain MRI Template with Skull, Aligned to TMBTA Atlas

Rui Gong provides a population average ex vivo mouse brain MRI template that includes the skull, along with a corresponding brain mask. The template was constructed from 149 ex vivo T2-weighted MRI scans acquired using an 11.7T MRI system and is aligned to the Turone Mouse Brain Template and Atlas (TMBTA). The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-14.

Use Cases

• Automated skull stripping based on the provided brain mask.
• Atlas registration for region-based analysis based on compatibility with the TMBTA atlas.
• Population-level anatomical comparison based on the average template constructed from 149 scans.
• Deformable image registration workflow development based on the alignment method described.

Strengths

• Template is based on 149 individual ex vivo MRI scans, providing a population average.
• Includes a corresponding brain mask for automated processing workflows.
• Shares anatomical space with the Turone Mouse Brain Template and Atlas (TMBTA), enabling direct compatibility.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect methodological bias inherent to the specific 11.7T MRI system and ex vivo preparation.
