# Get Started

# Introduction

As this is a package extension, if you are new to `{admiral}` then the best place to first start reading would be the Get Started page. This extension package follows the same main idea and conventions, and re-uses many functions from `{admiral}`, so it is important to thoroughly understand these to be able to use `{admiralneuro}`.

# Creating Neuroscience ADaM Datasets

For the neuroscience ADaM data structures, an overview of the flow and example function calls for the most common steps are provided by the following vignettes:

- Creating ADAPET/ADTPET
- Creating ADNV
- Creating ADLB

`{admiralneuro}` also provides template R scripts as a starting point. They can be created by calling `use_ad_template()` from `{admiral}`, e.g.,

    library(admiral)

    use_ad_template(
      adam_name = "adapet",
      save_path = "./ad_adapet.R",
      package = "admiralneuro"
    )

A list of all available templates can be obtained by `list_all_templates()` from `{admiral}`:

    admiral::list_all_templates(package = "admiralneuro")
    #> Existing ADaM templates in package 'admiralneuro':
    #> • ADAPET
    #> • ADLB
    #> • ADNV
    #> • ADTPET

Neuroscience test SDTM datasets are provided through the `{pharmaversesdtm}` package. The following datasets are available: `DM`, `NV`, `SUPPNV` and `AG`.
