Synopsis

The arterial spin labelling (ASL) data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) Lifespan studies can provide a source of unusually high-resolution hemodynamic measures from >2500 individuals with ages 5-21 and 37-100+. This work presents a summary of the minimal ASL processing pipeline used to provide pre-processed calibrated perfusion and arterial arrival time measurements for the cortical surface and subcortical volumes, from these individuals. The pipeline accounts for slice-wise image intensity variations resulting from the simultaneous multi-slice acquisition used to achieve high spatial resolution. These measures and this pipeline will be made available to the global neuroscience and neuroimaging communities.
