FeTA dataset consist of data from multiple institutions, and therefore there are 2 steps to download the data. With the two datasets below ( 1 and 2) you have access to super-resolution reconstructed images, manual brain tissue annotations (Task 1) and biometry measurements (Task 2) of the training sets.
