Brief Description

SPReD/XNAT is a database for the storage, management, and analysis of imaging data including MRI, PET, EEG, CT, as well as other types of binary data such as gait measures and pathology.

History of SPReD

  • SPReD is an acronym for the Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database.

  • SPReD was originally developed by the Centre for Stroke Recovery and the Rotman Research Institute.

  • The original Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database (SPReD) was developed as a tool for storing, searching and accessing neuroimaging data based on the open-source XNAT neuroimaging database.

    • A revised version of this SPReD database structure now forms part of several larger databases, including Brain-CODE, The Virtual Brain and PURE-MIND.

    • The current version of the Brain-CODE SPReD is based on XNAT.
