Thanks a lot for the input. Have you ever noticed whether this technique
has a negative influence on the segmentation quality performed on those
images?

Generally not.  A bigger issue is not using fat suppression.

Indeed this contrast mechanism is used to make MR angiograms of the head
without using contrast.

Hi Jamila,

These variable bright arteries in the T1w MPRAGE images are probably due to the 
time-of-flight (TOF) effects of those “fresh" arterial blood flowing into the 
brain after the inverse pulse.

No gadolinium contrast was used in the HCP.  Sometimes blood will appear bright 
on T1w scans for reasons other than gadolinium contrast.

Hi,

I have noticed that many if not all the structural MRIs of the HCP show signs 
of contrast in the subjects blood. Is that correct? Have you scanned the 
participants without using contrast as this disturbs the segmentation?

Thank you.

[HCP-Users] contrast in human connectome 3T structural MRI

Hi,

I have noticed that many if not all the structural MRIs of the HCP show
signs of contrast in the subjects blood. Is that correct? Have you scanned
the participants without using contrast as this disturbs the segmentation?
