Summary

This dataset contains segmentations of 72 white matter tracts obtained from 10 subjects included in the Human Connectome Project (HCP) young adult dataset (https://www.humanconnectome.org/study/hcp-young-adult). The folder names correspond to the ID of the HCP subjects.

The data is part of the following project: https://github.com/MIC-DKFZ/TractSeg/ If you use the data please cite the paper mentioned on the project page.

The tracts were extracted semi-automatically from whole-brain tractograms. For a detailed description of the tract segmentation process please refer to the paper linked on the project page. The following MRtrix (http://www.mrtrix.org/) commands were used to obtain the whole-brain tractograms:

For "CA", "IFO_left", "IFO_right", "UF_left", "UF_right" we used tracking without anatomical constraints:

tckgen -algorithm iFOD2 WM_FODs.mif output.tck -seed_image nodif_brain_mask.nii.gz -maxlength 250 -minlength 40 -number 10M -cutoff 0.06 -maxnum 0

Due to their enormous size, the whole brain tractograms corresponding to the segmented tracts are not included this dataset. Please contact the author of the paper if you are interested in these tractograms.

The following white matter tracts are included:
