This work is focused on the construction of two probabilistic atlases of the quantitative T1 and T2 parameters of the human brain from the relaxometry data of the CONNECT/ARCHI database, an open MRI database of 79 healthy subjects built under the framework of the European CONNECT project which aims at inferring the connectome atlas of the human brain from functional and anatomical MRI data at 3T. We combined these atlases to density maps of the major white matter bundles we extracted from the diffusion data of the 79 subjects to compute the average T1/T2 relaxation times for each bundle.
