The developing human connectome project (dHCP) aspires
to get multi-shell diffusion data with comparable
resolution, high SNR and high spherical coverage than
the human connectome project in 1000 infants in natural
sleep. The developed sequence combines a modified pulses
gradient diffusion preparation that minimizes echo time
and an optimized interleaved distribution of
sensitization directions and phase encoding directions
in one single self-calibrating scan to optimize
efficiency and produce information rich data that is
tolerant of signal loss due to sporadic movements, which
is a common pattern in neonates.
