Presenting PD126 and CTRL17: population-based multi-contrast templates for 126 Parkinson’s patients and 17 controls. These templates provide anatomical structural references for spatial normalization and structural segmentation of Parkinson's imaging data in the nine available contrasts: T1w (MPRAGE), T2*w, T1-T2* fusion, R2*, T2w, PDw, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), neuromelanin-sensitive imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging. The accompanying CTRL17 template facilitates group-wise analyses between Parkinson's and healthy controls. The templates are in stereotaxic space and are available in three different resolutions: 1×1×1 mm, 0.5×0.5×0.5 mm, and sectional 0.3×0.3×0.3 mm.
