Following the widespread use of the
MNI-ICBM152 2009 templates, we created a template based on the same cohort of subjects with extended coverage in Z direction: additional 55mm were added to cover bottom part of the head. Also, non-linear registration was performed without the use of the brain mask, resulting in a sharp average everywhere. We hope that these templates will be useful for the intervention planning, where sharp rendering of the tissue outside of the brain is important.
Note that since non-linear registration was performed without the mask, the resulting average does not have exactly the same shape as original 2009 version. We are providing a non-linear transformation file allowing to map anatomical location between these two atlases (symmetric version only).
Two versions are available – symmetric and asymmetric (natural).
Demographics (same as ICBM152_linear)
- Handedness was scored on a scale of 0-10. Average(std dev) for 141 of the 152 subjects was 8.57(2.50) with a range of 1-10 and interquartile range 8-10.
- Age, measured in years: 25.02(4.90)y, range 18-44y, interquartile range 21-28y
- 86 males and 66 females
- Ethnic background: 129 caucasian, 15 asian and 1 mixed decent
