MR-Eye atlas: a large-scale atlas of the eye based on T1-weighted MR imaging

MR-Eye atlas is a novel digital atlas contructed from MR images (T1-weighted MRI acquired at 1.5T ) of large-scale population of healthy volonteers. It gathers a male and female structural atlas constructed from 594 males and 616 females, with their corresponding probability maps of the different labels projected onto the average respective male and female templates. The atlases include 9 regions of interest lens, globe, optic nerve, intraconal and extraconal fat, and four rectus muscles (lateral, medial, inferior and superior).

The dataset includes:

• sub_metadata.csv: dataset summary table
• template.nii.gz: atlas of the eye images (per sex)
• max_prob_map.npy and max_prob_map.nii.gz: maximum probability maps (per sex)
• prob_map.npy and prob_map.nii.gz: probability maps (per sex)

Detailed information on the original large-scale cohort, automated segmentation method and unbiased atlas construction is detailed in the README file.
