We share the year-by-year templates we constructed from a sample of typical developing Chinese children.<br />
<br />
For each age bin in 1-6, we share the following data:<br />
<br />
mixed-sex brain template image (n = 30)<br />
sex-specific brain template image (n = 15)<br />
tissue label mask (ventricles, cerebral cortex, cerebral white matter, subcortical grey matter, brain stem, and cerebellum)<br />
An example of the tissue label mask overlaid on the brain template (age 1)<br />

Technical details<br />
The children included in this dataset are neurologically normal, as screened by neurologists and radiologists.<br />
<br />
The images were acquired using 1.5T Philips scanner.<br />
<br />
The templates were constructed using ANTs' template construction procedure: antsMultivariateTemplateConstruction2.sh<br />
<br />
To align the template images to the upright position, we applied a rigid alignment that only adjust the positions and orientations of the images.<br />
<br />
In the folder, we provide a mixed-sex template (n=30) and sex-specific templates (n=15) for each age bin. The files are named as:<br />
<br />
"T_{age}_template0_Warped.nii.gz" for the mixed-sex templates;<br />
<br />
"T_{age}{sex}_template0_Warped.nii.gz" for the sex-specific templates.<br />
<br />
"Labels_{age}_Warped.nii.gz" for the tissue label maps. Values and meanings in the maps:<br />
<br />
1 Ventricles<br />
2 Cerebral cortex<br />
3 Cerebral white matter<br />
4 Subcortical grey matter<br />
5 Brain stem<br />
