First, high-resolution 3D anatomical T1-weighted images were acquired using the following parameters: Turbo field echo (TFE) sequence, repetition time (TR) = 8.1 ms, echo time (TE) = 3.7 ms, flip angle = 8°, 256 × 256 matrix size, spatial resolution of 1 × 1 × 1 mm3 and 160 slices that cover the whole brain.
Then, diffusion-weighted data were obtained. The parameters employed in the acquisition were TR = 9000 ms, TE = 86 ms, flip angle = 90°, single-shell acquisition with 61 gradient directions and b-value = 1000 s/mm2, one baseline volume, 128 × 128 matrix size, spatial resolution of 2 × 2 × 2 mm3 and 66 slices that cover the whole brain.
Both T1 and diffusion-weighted data were collected between May 2014 and July 2018 in a unique MRI session, starting with the T1 scan. For a single subject, the time for both scans was approximately 18 minutes.
