To reproduce the analyses presented in the referred study, in this repository you could find the MR images acquired from nine young healthy subjects (YS1-YS5), four elderly healthy subject (ES1-ES4) and two drug-resistant tremor patients treated treated with Vim radiosurgery by Gamma Knife (P1 and P2). The provided dataset includes the following NifTI files: - MPRRAGE @3T - DWI @3T (together with the corresponding bvals and bvecs) - MP2RAGE @7T - SWI @7T - binary masks of the manual delineation of both left and right Vim respectively that were done on the SWI (as NifTI files as well). Additionally, for the young cohort (YS1-YS5) we include as well the images used for building the quadrilateral of Guiot: - T2-w @3T - T2 CISS @3T For the patients (P1 and P2), a follow-up MPRAGE (acquired at 3T) with Gadolinium enhancement is also provided. —————————————— Notes: 1. For YS3 MP2RAGE at 7T is missing, instead MPRAGE at 3T was used 2. The code performing the thalamic nuclei clustering could be found in Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.123768
