Clinical Data

NYUMets_Brain de-identified clinical data is divided into three datasets with feature details viewable below:

  • Time Series Dataset - Each row in the time series dataset represents a point in time, in units of days indexed from each patient’s initial gamma knife radiosurgery. Dataset variables include clinical details related to medication changes, imaging timing/references to raw imaging files, procedure timing, clinical follow up, and outcomes.
  • Individual Dataset - Each row represents an individual patient with demographic details and summary clinical data.
  • Gamma Knife Details Dataset - Each row represents an individual gamma knife target to provide further details about available gamma knife radiosurgery.
  • Imaging Dataset Metadata - Each row represents a point in time with imaging.
  • NYUMets MONAI API - MONAI Extension for handling longitudinal oncology and imaging data.
