What is mBDR?

The mBIRN Data Repository (mBDR) is a public resource presented by the Morphometry testbed of the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN).  It includes a range of raw and post-processed MRI images, related derived measures, and related subject measures.  The data are free to use according to the mBDR Data Use Agreement.  The data are organized by project below, or the repository can be searched across projects here.  If you would like to contribute data to the repository, please contact us.

OASIS: Cross-sectional MRI Data in Young, Middle Aged, Nondemented and Demented Older Adults

This set consists of a cross-sectional collection of 416 subjects aged 18 to 96. For each subject, 3 or 4 individual T1-weighted MRI scans obtained in single scan sessions are included. The subjects are all right-handed and include both men and women. 100 of the included subjects over the age of 60 have been clinically diagnosed with very mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Additionally, a reliability data set is included containing 20 nondemented subjects imaged on a subsequent visi...
 

MorphDTI_p0001: High SNR Healthy Volunteer DTI Calibration Dataset at 1.5T.

This dataset contains the acquired DTI data and the co-registered DTI data for a healthy male volunteer scanned on three separate scanning sessions over 2 days. Fifteen DTI scans were performed in each scan session, producing 45 DTI datasets in total. Data was acquired on a 1.5T Philips MR unit at the F.M. Kirby Research Center for Functional Brain Imaging, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Johns Hopkins University. This large dataset (45 DTI scans) can be used as a reference for DTI data on a 1.5 T...
 

MIRIAD: Multisite Imaging Research In the Analysis of Depression

The MIRIAD project is a multiple institution effort for high quality automated analyses of proton density (PD) and T2-weighted MRIs from a longitudinal study of depression in late life. Specific morphologic correlations with factors involved in depression are being studied. Dual-echo MRI scans acquired at Duke are anonymized and uploaded by the Neuropsychiatric Imaging Research Laboratory (NIRL) to the BIRN SRB where they are accessed at BWH (Surgical Planning Laboratory, SPL) and UCLA (LONI)...
 

ELUDE: Efficient Longitudinal Upload of Depression in the Elderly

The ELUDE dataset is an anonymized collection of a longitudinal study of late-life depression at Duke University. There are 281 depressed subjects and 154 controls included. An MR scan of each subject was obtained every 2 years for up to 8 years (total of 1093 scans). Clinical assessments occurred more frequently and consists of a battery of psychiatric tests including several depression-specific tests such as the HAM-D, CESD, and MADRS.
