To access the SLIMBRAIN Database, you need to fill, accept and sign the Data Usage Agreement (DUA) terms. Then, you need to send it to us, using the emails included at the end of the document. We will evaluate your application and, if you are accepted, you will receive a confirmation email with the necessary steps to access the data.
The SLIMBRAIN database is under a DUA, which users will need to sign prior to accessing the data. Please read the Data Usage Agreement section above to learn more. You can access the SLIMBRAIN database search tools by filling the registration form available in the link below. However, only access will be granted once your DUA is approved.
The following links allow the access to the entire SLIMBRAIN database. Access raw data obtained at the operating room, hyperspectral pre-processed data, ground-truth maps labeled by neurosurgeons as well as RGB and depth images from the SLIMBRAIN database website, which include search tools to filter the data entries. To learn more about how the data is organized, proceed to the usage section.
The same data can also be accessible from the e-cienciaDatos repository, which is a multidisciplinary data repository that hosts the scientific datasets of researchers from the public universities of the Community of Madrid and UNED in Spain, members of the Madroño Consortium, to make these data visible, guarantee their preservation and facilitate their access and reuse. Although the data is downloadable, you need to have your DUA approved to properly access the files with the given information after approval. Please read the Data Usage Agreement section above to learn more.
We store anonimized information of the patients to help researchers understand the data. Everything is organized in a table from which one can access to individual patient folders to our servers. This table offers a great tool for researchers to filter data entries with more than 20 fields, including pathologies, cameras, and prototype used among others.
The SLIMBRAIN database is intended to be used by both research engineers and medical personnel. For example, the data can be downloaded for research purposes but it can also be used to train neurosurgery residents with the RGB images of the brains. To ease the usage and access to the SLIMBRAIN database, we have done some video tutorial to guide anyone interested regardless of their professional area.
The .mat files stored in the SLIMBRAIN database can be opened using Python with the SLIMBRAIN manager package.
If you have any question regarding the SLIMBRAIN database, send us an email and we will try to reply to you as soon as possible.
