Abstract 

The paired 3T-7T MRI dataset includes T1- and T2-weighted whole-brain MRI of each participant performed on an investigational 7T MAGNETOM MR system with a 32-channel receiver and a 1-channel transmit birdcage head coil (Nova Medical, Wilmington, MA, USA) and a 3T MAGNETOM Prisma MR system equipped with a 64-channel eachphased-array head coil (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) on the same day at Beijing MRI Center for Brain Research (BMCBR). Twenty volunteers aged 18-25 years (10 males and 10 females) recruited from a university were enrolled.
The subiculum (SUB), cornu ammonis (CA)2, CA1, CA4-dentage gyrus (DG), entorhinal cortex (ERC), CA3 and Tail of hippocampus were manually delineated using ITK-SNAP (www.itksnap.org) based on a previously published protocol (Wisse et al., 2012)[1] for the left and right hippocampus separately on every slice of the individual subjects’ ultrahigh resolution 7T T2-weighted images on the coronal plane.

Instructions: 

The data format is *.IMA. This dataset provides 3T T1, 3T T2, 7T T1, 7T T2 MRI, and hippocampal subfield labels for each subject.
Two experienced medical experts outlined the hippocampal subfields of the same 4 subjects twice (for one month interval) to ensure both had mastered the segmentation protocol by calculating inter-rater and intra-rater reliability which were evaluated by Dice Similarity Indices (DSI) for the left, right and both hemispheres combined. The two experts jointly outlined the final manual segmentation of HS for 20 subjects as the gold standard for automatic segmentation. Any disputed delineation was discussed to modification and agreed upon.
