Archived Processed Results:
We are happy to announce that we will release the processed results on datasets OASIS3, ADNI, HCP, dHCP, BCP, ABIDE… The processed results (including skull stripping, tissue segmentation and parcellation) were generated by the volume-based analysis pipeline (integrated in iBEAT V2.0 Cloud, http://www.ibeat.cloud), which was designed by the Developing Brain Computing Lab (https://liwang.web.unc.edu) led by Dr. Li Wang (li_wang@med.unc.edu).

Online infant processing pipeline: iBEAT V2.0 Cloud

• iBEAT V2.0 Cloud, http://www.ibeat.cloud/. iBEAT V2.0 Cloud is a toolbox for processing infant brain MR images, using multimodality (including T1w and T2w) or single-modality. Main functions of the software (step by step) include image preprocessing, brain extraction, tissue segmentation and brain labeling. The software is developed by the IDEA group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. iBEAT was first developed in 2012, now re-developed with more advanced techniques. So far, we have successfully processed 30,000+ infant brain images from multiple sites with various protocols and scanners (Table 1).
