Resources

Please take a moment to review the following information and associated webpages.

The Archive of Data on Disability to Enable Policy and research (ADDEP) is a data repository for completed disability and research projects. Two separate studies will be highlighted during the workshop:

ATLAS

The Anatomical Tracings of Lesions After Stroke (ATLAS) Dataset - Release 1.2 is an open-source data collection consisting of a total of 304 T1-weighted MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) with manually segmented diverse lesions and metadata. The goal of ATLAS is to provide the research community with a standardized training and testing dataset for lesion segmentation algorithms on T1-weighted MRIs.

In addition, attendees should review the following resource: Pipeline for Analyzing Lesions After Stroke (PALS), a scalable, user-friendly toolbox designed to facilitate standardized analysis and ensure quality in stroke research using T1-weighted MRIs. The PALS toolbox offers four modules integrated into a single pipeline, including: (1) reorientation to radiological convention, (2) lesion correction for healthy white matter voxels, (3) lesion load calculation, and (4) visual quality control. To learn more, please refer to our paper in Frontiers. To access and download the toolbox, please visit the link: https://github.com/npnl/pals

If you are planning on participating in the ATLAS data session, please complete the following steps:

Download ATLAS PALS lab document PDF or Word Doc
Install Docker from https://www.docker.com/get-started.
Download the dataset (ZIP). This dataset includes two subjects from the ATLAS database. Note where the files are saved.
Please make sure you have 10GB space on your laptop, as we will need this for the toolbox to run!

EI-CO

Early Intervention Colorado (EI-CO) Participant Characteristics, Service Use, and Outcomes, Colorado, 2014-2016 and related study. This dataset was generated from a large, urban EI program in Colorado using electronic administrative data. From this, a number of variables were derived including EI service use intensity as well as -specific service use.
