  • Overview of dissemination contents
    • Multi-site phantom data: phantom that helps asses image distortions from gradient non-linearities
    • Multi-site human data: healthy volunteers, most of which were scanned twice at the participating sites
    • Human Protocol: multi-spectral 3D structural (FLASH with multiple flip angles: 30, 20, 5, 3 degrees)
    • Sites: Five sites with different 1.5T systems (Siemens, GE, Philips/Picker)


  • Human Acquisition Protocol
Sequence: 3D spoiled gradient echo (FLASH type)
Vendor's standard birdcage RF coil
Slice orientation: Sagittal
No partial Fourier

Readout matrix=256
Number of Slices: 124 (no skip, whole head coverage, avoid wrap around)
Slice Thickness: 1.3mm-1.5mm
TE= minimum allowed with centered (symmetric) echo.
TR=20 ms
Slab Selection: No (i.e., hard RF pulses)
scan 1: flip angle 30 degrees  (T1-weighted image)
scan 2: flip angle 5 degrees (proton-density-weighted image)
scan 3: flip angle 20 degrees (T1-weighted image)
scan 4: flip angle 3 degrees  (proton-density-weighted image)
Acquisition time per scan: about 8min 12sec
