Imperial APC (Imperial Amyloid PET Cohort)

Dataset

Documentation

Description:
The Imperial APC Study is an Alzheimer"s Society funded project that was set up at the Imperial College London in 2019. The ovearching aim of the study is to investigate the diagnostic utility of amyloid PET and other more established biomarkers of AD in a clinical cohort of patients with atypical clinical presentations. In this sub-study, we have retrospectively collected the MRI scans of all individuals referred for amyloid PET imaging in our Centre between 2013 and 2021. Both MRI and amyloid PET scans were carried out for clinical purposes and referral to amyloid PET followed appropriate use criteria (Johnson et al., 2013 Alz & Dem).

Access

Access Service:
The Data Portal runs its analysis environment through a virtual desktop infrastructure accessible via VMWare software. By analysing the data in the virtual desktop environment you are working on DPUK"s servers – meaning there is no physical transfer of data to researchers. The processing capacity enables you to work with large numbers of records and integrate these with the other data modalities that exist in the DPUK cohorts. This solution also offers researchers the freedom to conduct their analyses anywhere with an internet connection.
