This dataset is derived from the Southwest University Adult Lifespan Dataset (SALD), a large-scale cross-sectional neuroimaging dataset designed to characterize brain structure and function across the adult lifespan. The study recruited community-dwelling adults between ages 19 and 80 from Southwest University in Chongqing, China. At each session, participants contributed T1-weighted structural MRI images alongside behavioral and cognitive assessments. Here, we provide a 2D slice-based version of T1-weighted (T1w) MRI volumes, extracted from cognitively normal subjects across the full age range.
π¦ Dataset Structure
Each entry corresponds to a single 2D slice from a 3D MRI volume:
volume_idβ Unique identifier for the subject/volumeslice_idβ Index of the slice within the volumeageβ Age of the participant at time of scansexβ Biological sex of the participant ('M'/'F')imageβ 2D MRI slice
βοΈ Preprocessing
- Only T1-weighted (T1w) volumes were used
- Volumes were converted into 2D axial slices
- Slices were normalized and resized to 256Γ256
β οΈ Caveat
Late slices in each volume have noise in them.
π Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ds = load_dataset("chehablab/SALD_t1w", split="train")
sample = ds[314]
img = sample["image"]
plt.imshow(img, cmap="gray")
plt.title(f"Volume {sample['volume_id']} | Slice {sample['slice_id']} | Age {sample['age']} | Sex {sample['sex']}")
plt.axis("off")
plt.show()
