Accurate lesion segmentation is critical in stroke rehabilitation research for the quantification of lesion burden and accurate image processing. Current automated lesion segmentation methods for T1-weighted (T1w) MRIs, commonly used in rehabilitation research, lack accuracy and reliability. Manual segmentation remains the gold standard, but it is time-consuming, subjective, and requires significant neuroanatomical expertise. Here we present ATLAS v2.0 (N=1271), a larger dataset of T1w stroke MRIs and manually segmented lesion masks that includes training (public. n=655), test (masks hidden, n=300), and generalizability (completely Algorithm development using this larger sample should lead to more robust solutions, and the hidden test and generalizability datasets allow for unbiased performance evaluation via segmentation challenges
