Spinal Cord 3T fMRI Data with NORDIC Thermal Denoising

A collection of 3 Tesla spinal cord functional MRI (fMRI) scans from healthy individuals, processed by D. Rangaprakash and updated in March 2026. The data was acquired using a Philips MRI scanner and underwent NORDIC denoising to minimize thermal noise in magnitude images.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the impact of NORDIC denoising on signal-to-noise ratios in spinal cord magnitude images
• Mapping functional activation patterns in the healthy spinal cord using 3T fMRI scans
• Benchmarking spinal cord motion correction pipelines against denoised 3T magnitude data

Strengths

• Acquired using a high-field 3 Tesla Philips MRI scanner
• NORDIC denoising applied to magnitude images to reduce thermal noise
• Focuses specifically on healthy spinal cord functional imaging

Limitations

• Unknown sample size and subject demographics
• Denoising was performed using magnitude images only, excluding phase data
• Missing metadata regarding specific pulse sequences and repetition times
