We describe a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) dataset from individuals from the African nation of Nigeria. The dataset contains pseudonymized structural MRI (T1w, T2w, FLAIR) data of clinical quality. Dataset contains data from 36 images from healthy control subjects, 32 images from individuals diagnosed with age-related dementia and 20 from individuals with Parkinson's disease. There is currently a paucity of data from the African continent. Given the potential for Africa to contribute to the global neuroscience community, this first MRI dataset represents both an opportunity and benchmark for future studies to share data from the African continent.
我们描述了一个来自非洲国家尼日利亚个体的磁共振成像(MRI)数据集。该数据集包含具有临床质量的匿名化结构MRI(T1w、T2w、FLAIR)数据。数据集包含来自36名健康对照受试者的图像数据、32名被诊断患有年龄相关性痴呆症个体的图像数据以及20名帕金森病患者的图像数据。目前来自非洲大陆的数据匮乏。鉴于非洲有潜力为全球神经科学界做出贡献,这个首个MRI数据集对未来研究来说既是一个机会,也是分享非洲大陆数据的一个基准。
