Description

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder affecting regions such as the substantia nigra (SN), red nucleus (RN) and locus coeruleus (LC). Processing MRI data from patients with PD requires anatomical structural references for spatial normalization and structural segmentation. Extending our previous work, we present multi-contrast unbiased MRI templates using nine 3T MRI modalities: T1w, T2*w, T1-T2* fusion, R2*, T2w, PDw, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), susceptibility-weighted imaging, and neuromelanin-sensitive MRI (NM). One mm isotropic voxel size templates were created, along with 0.5 mm isotropic whole brain templates and 0.3 mm isotropic templates of the midbrain. All templates were created from 126 PD patients (44 female; ages=40-87), and 17 healthy controls (13 female; ages=39-84), except the NM template, which was created from 85 PD patients and 13 controls, respectively. The dataset is available on the NIST MNI Repository via the following link: http://nist.mni.mcgill.ca/multi-contrast-pd126-and-ctrl17-templates/. The data is also available on NITRC at the following link: https://www.nitrc.org/projects/pd126/.
