We present a whole brain in vivo diffusion MRI dataset acquired at 760um isotropic resolution and sampled at 1260 q-space points across 9 two-hour sessions. The creation of this benchmark in vivo diffusion MRI dataset is possible through use of the Connectom scanner, custom-built 64-channel phased-array coil, gSlider acquisition, dual-polarity GRAPPA reconstruction, reverse phase encoding for distortion mitigation, and personalized motion-robust stabilizer. The data will enhance our understanding of gray and white matter structure with fine detail revealed at sub-mm resolution and serve as a reference dataset for new modeling and processing algorithms.
