Spinal Cord 7T fMRI Data with NORDIC Denoising

Encompassing spinal cord functional MRI scans acquired using a 7 Tesla Philips scanner from healthy individuals. Developed by D. Rangaprakash and updated in March 2026, the data has been processed using NORDIC denoising on both magnitude and phase images to minimize thermal noise. It provides high-field neuroimaging specifically focused on the spinal cord, a region typically challenging to image due to physiological noise.

Use Cases

• Evaluation of NORDIC denoising performance on 7T spinal fMRI signal-to-noise ratios
• Mapping of functional activation patterns in the spinal cord using high-field imaging
• Development of motion correction and registration pipelines for spinal neuroimaging

Strengths

• High-field 7 Tesla MRI resolution
• NORDIC denoising applied to both magnitude and phase images
• Data acquired from healthy individuals for baseline neuroimaging research

Limitations

• Unknown sample size
• Hardware-specific bias from Philips MRI scanner architecture
• Lack of detailed demographic or clinical metadata
