03 - T1w for PBn
It can be a good incentive to promote your study if you offer participants to give them their T1w files (since everyone knows how cool images of brains are!) If you promise to give out the T1w-scans to participants, make sure, that you really do it!
There are only some things to remember:
Participants always get the “faced” T1w scan. If you get the data from the MRI lab directly, there should be a
faceddirectory with the files that you can give to the participant. If you started with raw DICOM files, make sure to send the T1w file before defacing or save defaced image separately!If you provide participants with their T1w scans, it might be a good idea to provide them with the software on how to look at their data! For example, you could point them to MRIcroGL as a free tool that they can install themselves to look at their data: Link to MRIcroGL Download (there is also a ready-to-distribute PDF for the installation of MRIcroGL here:
/shared/website/How_to_look_at_your_brain.pdf)We do not keep the “non-defaced” T1w scans of participants! Thus, delete the non-defaced T1w scan of a participant either immediately after defacing, or at the latest after your study finished!
