39 new or updated datasets available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use.

The full list of publicly available datasets are on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on AWS Data Exchange. This quarter, AWS released 39 new or updated datasets.

RSNA Cervical Spine Fracture Detection (RSNA-CSF) Dataset

More than 1.5 million spine fractures occur annually in the United States alone resulting in over 17,730 spinal cord injuries annually. The most common site of spine fracture is the cervical spine. There has been a rise in the incidence of spinal fractures in the elderly, and in this population, fractures can be more difficult to detect on imaging due to degenerative disease and osteoporosis. Imaging diagnosis of adult spine fractures is now almost exclusively performed with computed tomography (CT). Quickly detecting and determining the location of any vertebral fractures is essential to prevent neurologic deterioration and paralysis after trauma. RSNA has teamed with the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) and the American Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR) to create this ground truth dataset, collecting imaging data from twelve sites on six continents, including approximately 2,000 CT studies. Spine radiology specialists from the ASNR and ASSR provided expert image-level annotations to these studies to indicate the presence, vertebral level, and location of any cervical spine fractures.

How can you make your data available?

Looking to make your data available? The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program covers the cost of storage for publicly available high-value, cloud-optimized datasets. We work with data providers who seek to:

  • Democratize access to data by making it available for analysis on AWS
  • Develop new cloud-native techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data
  • Encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets

Learn how to propose your dataset to the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program.
