Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data acquired from fixed rat brain and spinal cord, normal human brain, and a physical phantom. The data was used for evaluating diffusion kurtosis imaging contrasts, comparing them to diffusion tensor imaging, and optimizing b-values. Brian Hansen from Aarhus University provided this data, which may support a wide range of dMRI analysis strategies.
Use Cases
- Evaluating diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameter contrasts based on data from multiple tissue types.
- Optimizing b-values for fast kurtosis imaging based on ex vivo and in vivo data mentioned in the description.
- Comparing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to DKI contrasts using the provided biological tissue data.
- Exploring kurtosis fractional anisotropy using data from a physical phantom with three orthogonal fiber orientations.
Strengths
- Data includes scans from multiple sources: fixed rat brain (9.4 T), spinal cord (16.4 T), human brain (3 T), and a physical phantom.
- Has been used for specific research purposes: evaluation of DKI contrasts and b-value optimization.
- Released under an Open Access (gold) license, facilitating reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
