   <title>Year-by-year brain templates of children aged 1-6</title>
   <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9804</link>
   <description>We share the year-by-year templates we constructed from a sample of typical developing Chinese children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For each age bin in 1-6, we share the following data:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mixed-sex brain template image (n = 30)&lt;br /&gt;
sex-specific brain template image (n = 15)&lt;br /&gt;
tissue label mask (ventricles, cerebral cortex, cerebral white matter, subcortical grey matter, brain stem, and cerebellum)&lt;br /&gt;
An example of the tissue label mask overlaid on the brain template (age 1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Technical details&lt;br /&gt;
The children included in this dataset are neurologically normal, as screened by neurologists and radiologists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The images were acquired using 1.5T Philips scanner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The templates were constructed using ANTs' template construction procedure: antsMultivariateTemplateConstruction2.sh&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To align the template images to the upright position, we applied a rigid alignment that only adjust the positions and orientations of the images.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the folder, we provide a mixed-sex template (n=30) and sex-specific templates (n=15) for each age bin. The files are named as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;T_{age}_template0_Warped.nii.gz&amp;quot; for the mixed-sex templates;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;T_{age}{sex}_template0_Warped.nii.gz&amp;quot; for the sex-specific templates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Labels_{age}_Warped.nii.gz&amp;quot; for the tissue label maps. Values and meanings in the maps:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 Ventricles&lt;br /&gt;
2 Cerebral cortex&lt;br /&gt;
3 Cerebral white matter&lt;br /&gt;
4 Subcortical grey matter&lt;br /&gt;
5 Brain stem&lt;br /&gt;
6 Cerebellum</description>
