Name

Dataset description

asl001

One volunteer scanned on a GE MR750 3 T, using the GE product sequence: a single-PLD PCASL sequence with segmented stack-of-spirals 3D readout and four background suppression pulses. ASL time series consists only of the volumes ‘deltam’ and ‘m0scan’.

asl002

One volunteer scanned on a Philips Achieva 3 T, using the Philips WIP sequence: a single-PLD PCASL sequence with single-shot 2D-EPI and two background suppression pulses, ‘m0scan’ acquired separately.

asl003

One volunteer scanned on a Siemens Trio 3 T, using the Siemens C2P (Bremen) sequence: a multi-PLD PASL sequence with a segmented 3D GRASE readout and two background suppression pulses, ‘m0scan’ acquired separately.

asl00436,37

One volunteer scanned on a Siemens Prisma 3 T, using a custom multi-PLD PCASL sequence with a 2D-EPI readout, two background suppression pulses and ‘m0scan’ included in the time series. Dataset includes an additional ‘m0scan’ with reversed phase-encoding direction (pe_polar).

asl005

One volunteer scanned on a Siemens Prisma 3 T, using the Siemens WIP sequence: a single-PLD PCASL sequence with segmented 3D GRASE readout and four background suppression pulses, ‘m0scan’ included in the time series.

  1. All datasets contain a 3D T1W structural scan.
